Congratulations to Roberta McIlwane from Strand Court in Belfast who has won the 2017 Muriel Smyth Good neighbour Award. This award celebrates the wonderful individuals that make up our communities across Northern Ireland.

Each year we are inundated with entries and 2017 was no different!  Our judging panel is made up of Tenants’ Forum members, who thoroughly enjoyed reading the many entries that reflect such warm sentiments towards their neighbours. The individuals nominated for the award provide support, companionship, a shoulder to cry on or even just a cup of sugar to their neighbours.

This year’s winner, Roberta McIlwane, was nominated by an overwhelming majority of her neighbours who describe her as caring and friendly. According to her friends and neighbours, Roberta is “always smiling” and “nothing is too much trouble”.

Earlier this week, Carol Ervine, Group Director of Tenant and Client Services, presented Roberta with her prize. Congratulations again to Roberta from everyone at Choice.
