Posted By Lilac Thurs 11th June 2009
Minister for Social Development, Margaret Ritchie today announced a funding boost of £22,845.00 for Coalisland’s Lilac Centre to support cancer patients and their families.
The LILAC centre offers help and support using complimentary therapies and the funding will be used to provide new equipment for complimentary therapies including aromatherapy and reflexology.
Making the announcement the Social Development Minister, Margaret Ritchie said: “I am pleased to support this project for residents in Coalisland who are encountering difficult circumstances. Poor health is one of the most important and difficult issues that the Neighbourhood Renewal process must address.
"The implementation of this project, through the Armagh and Dungannon Health Action Zone, demonstrates my commitment to work in partnership with others to achieve improvements in the health and well being of people living in the Coalisland Neighbourhood Renewal Area.”
Through Neighbourhood Renewal a project has been devised to enhance the service being provided and to carry out a review of the effectiveness of complimentary type therapies.
The Minister also acknowledged the work of the Coalisland Neighbourhood Partnership: She said: “I wish to express my appreciation of the efforts of members of Coalisland Neighbourhood Partnership who, in a relatively short period of time, have made considerable progress on delivering a range of significant projects in their Neighbourhood Renewal Area. The support of the Partnership is necessary to achieve effective change and I look forward to further developments in Coalisland”
The involvement of the Armagh and Dungannon Health Action Zone gives the project a total value of £28,245.00.
A review of complimentary services will also be carried out by McMillan Cancer Care.
