Mr Tony Black, from The Silvergrove in Belfast, has been awarded the 2018 Muriel Smyth Good Neighbour Award.
Mr Black was nominated by many of his neighbours who feel that he truly encourages a sense of community within the scheme and is a great example of a good neighbour.
Mr Black always helps out around the scheme setting up bingo and getting the papers for other tenants. One nomination read, “Tony is a wonderful neighbour to have, always ready with a joke or some banter which provides a lovely, happy atmosphere here”.
When the news broke at the scheme that Mr Black was to receive the award there were immediate celebrations and shouts of joy!
Congratulations Mr Black on a well-deserved award.
