Martin Lahert, director at Bluebird Care Tamworth and Lichfield said:

> “So many neighbourhoods thrive because of volunteers who work tirelessly to run community groups, host events and provide services that benefit others.  
>  
> “Much of this work involves supporting older people who, without regular coffee mornings, day-trips or lunch clubs, would be left isolated at home.  
>  
> “MHA Lichfield and District Live at Home Scheme was just the type of initiative we were hoping to fund this year.  
>  
> “The scheme makes a real difference to the lives of others, and ensures that older people have opportunities to socialise, leave their homes, and feel less isolated.  
>  
> “We hope our grant of £250 will help Caroline and her team supporting the scheme in all the work it does.  
>  
> “Thanks to their hard work, MHA has a positive and welcoming reputation in the Lichfield community.”
