Carla Lockhart MP Applauds McDonald's Initiative for Senior Citizens Morning in Banbridge

Carla Lockhart MP • April 3, 2024

Carla Lockhart MP has extended her warmest commendations to McDonald's Banbridge for their initiative to host a Senior Citizens Morning, featuring valuable information on internet scams provided by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). 

Commenting on the initiative, Mrs Lockhart said, ‘The Senior Citizens Morning, organised by McDonald's Banbridge in partnership with the PSNI, presents an excellent opportunity for senior citizens to gather, socialise, and access crucial information on staying safe in the digital age. With internet scams posing an increasing risk to individuals of all ages, particularly seniors, initiatives like this play a vital role in raising awareness and equipping communities with the knowledge to protect themselves.


I commend McDonald's Banbridge for their proactive approach to community outreach and for recognizing the unique needs of senior citizens. I also acknowledge the PSNI's dedication to promoting cyber safety and applauds their collaboration with McDonald's Banbridge in addressing this pressing issue.


I encourage seniors in Banbridge and surrounding areas to take advantage of the Senior Citizens Morning at McDonald's.’
