THE chief executive
officer of Active Retirement Ireland has called for
more members across Inishowen. Maureen Cavanagh made
her appeal during a recent visit to Serenity Active
Retirement Group in Moville where she also met
members of Buncrana's Active Retirement Association.
"Maureen described the function of the national
association and explained how they are always
available to help rural groups," explained a
spokesperson for Serenity House.
"She also explained how helpful active retirement
groups are, especially when people who led busy,
active lives prior to retirement, are now seeking an
opportunity to make use of their free time by
contributing their many talents to the growth and
well-being of their community."
Ms Cavanagh also explained that Active Retirement
Ireland was concerned with helping with the needs of
older people such as in the area of friendship,
educational, sporting activities and the
organisation of cultural visits and group holidays.
Meanwhile, she commended the Moville group, who have
been in existence for the past ten years, for all
their achievements.
