Aspire Creating Communities, a Huddersfield-based charity supporting the over 55s, successfully bid for a grant of £3,780 to fund a project called Re-Connect.
In partnership with TSL and Community Plus, Aspire were able to recruit a sign language volunteer which meant that 59-year-old AJ who is profoundly deaf, could make friends at the weekly group session. V, a Pakistani gentleman aged 84, had suffered a stroke and was struggling to make social connections.
