Local Primary School choir brings joy to Blantyre LIFE
Published: Monday 3 February 2025
Residents and staff at Blantyre LIFE have been treated to a heart-warming performance from pupils of nearby St Joseph’s Primary.
The school's P6 choir performed classic Scottish songs, including ‘Donald, Where’s Your Troosers?’ and ‘Will Ye Go Lassie Go’ — bringing warmth and nostalgia to the facility.
The visit created a joyful atmosphere, with residents and staff enjoying the lively performance, reinforcing the strong sense of community at Blantyre LIFE.
Blantyre Life champions the ‘home for life’ principle, with an emphasis on enabling more people to live as independently as possible within their own homes. It combines a 20 bedded intermediate care facility and 20 new technology enabled properties, all equipped with state-of-the-art telecare systems to support independent living.
Professor Soumen Sengupta, Chief Officer of South Lanarkshire University Health and Social Care Partnership said: “The visit from the St Joseph’s choir was a wonderful reminder of the strong community spirit that exists between Blantyre LIFE and its neighbours. It was heartening to see the joy and connection this performance brought to our residents and staff.
“My heartfelt thanks to the pupils and staff at St Joseph’s for sharing their talents and making such a meaningful contribution to the well-being of our residents.”
