Last year the New Friends Project was formed to pair up Year 5 school children from Shooters Grove school with Roscoe Court Sheltered Housing scheme, to develop friendships and break down barriers.  

Over the school year the children and tenants took part in arts and crafts, dancing, singing and sports based at the scheme. Watch the heart warming video above that was created at the scheme over a period of 9 months.

Throughout the project both groups made new friends and gained new creative skills.
