Afternoon Tea Dance in association with Age Action in the Burlington Hotel, Dublin on Tuesday 8th May. Sponsored by Bluebird Care.

On Tuesday Bluebird Care in conjunction with Age Action will host Afternoon Tea in the Burlington Hotel, Dublin for 450 elderly people who will come together for an afternoon of great music, food, company and also to honour a Bluebird Carer.

Celebrating Age Action’s 20th Birthday, the team at Bluebird Care will lend our support to celebrate active ageing in Ireland. This is the first in a series of Tea Parties planned for across the country. So stay tuned for one near you soon. Unfortunately tickets for the Dublin Tea Party are all sold out.

The entertainment for the afternoon will be provided by everyone’s favorite – Sonny Knowles and Tony Kenny.  They will perform some of their well known hits, many of which you will be able to sing along to.  My Son, Any dream will do, Butterfly kisses from Tony and My child, When the Snow is on the Roses, and of course a wave from Sonny.

For more details on Age Action and the Tea Party log on here.

We will update news and photos from the event on our blog and of course share news of our Dublin Carer of the Year.

Vantastic Branded Vans Sponsored by Bluebird Care

We are delighted to announce details of our partnership with Dublin-based Charity Vantastic. They provide accessible door-to-door transport services for the elderly and the disabled.

The Vantastic service originated from the total lack of accessible transport in the early 1990s and the efforts made by the Centre for Independent Living Dublin to establish a transport division (called Vantastic) with the twin aims of providing an accessible transport service for people with disabilities and also to act as a policy lobby group on government.

And so in 2000 the charity was born. Coming on board to sponsor 12 of their Vantastic Vans, Bluebird Care recognises the importance of this charity.  We look forward to developing this partnership.

Log onto Vantastic.ie for more details of their services.
