Meet the Sheltered Housing Officer: Maureen Ball

"Hello, my name is Maureen and I have been a Sheltered Housing Officer for over 15 years. Before that I was a Care Worker for 10 years so have spent all of my life helping older people.

"I love the fact that it’s possible to change a person’s day for the better just by giving someone a bit of your time and help and seeing someone smile as a result always makes me feel good.

"Allendale House has won Best Sheltered Garden for the last 7 years, something we are all very proud of, and it is the perfect setting for our annual summer fair where we bring the local community together, giving local children a day to remember and raising money into the bargain.

"Working in this job has meant that I have developed a lot of knowledge about all sorts of useful things, so if you’ve got a question just ask and I’ll see what I can find for you.

"If I had to describe myself I would say that I am an honest and open person, and not afraid to speak up when it helps people living at Allendale House!"

Interesting fact:  "I’ve always had a love for dolls houses and hope soon to spend some time restoring my daughters’ dolls house from when she was a child".
