4 October 2024
On Tuesday 1 October, Loraine Colemen, aged 68 from Grays, was presented with the Mayoral Roll of Honour in recognition of her work in setting up the first Reengage group in Thurrock.
Reengage is a charity that connects with older people to help them stay in contact with friends, socialise and reduce loneliness by hosting tea parties and events.
Thurrock's first Reengage group was set up by Loraine in 2015, since then she has become Local Area Coordinator for Thurrock and now oversees eight Reengage groups.
