What is CREST?
It currently operates four projects:
• Weekly Groups for Older People with a Disability that, through arts and crafts activities, healthy living advice, a cooked meal and educational speakers, promote independent living for approximately 75 local frail elderly people

It supports them to take up mainstream services in the fields of arts, community, culture, education, employment, faith, leisure, sports, and volunteering
