Leagreen OfficerMeet the Sheltered Housing Officer: Marjorie Dalgarno

"Hello, my name is Marjorie and I’ve been a Sheltered Housing Officer for over 9 years.  Before this job I was an activity coordinator for The Blind Society, so I was able to bring with me experience of supporting people with a range of different needs and experiences and knowing where to find information that might help people.

"I’ve always been interested in helping older people live independently, no matter how old they are. Here at Leagreen Court we have a lot of social activities in the evenings because this suits the people living here.  We also work closely with other local people to improve and maintain the gardens so that people can enjoy them all year round.

"Working here has taught me that people always have the ability to surprise you!

"I‘m a compassionate and caring person who can be relied on when people need my help."

Interesting fact:  "I’m an excellent line-dancer!"
