Big thank-you to Kibble singing star Talented Lisa loves entertaining care home residents
A singer who shares her talent with care home and sheltered housing residents was among those congratulated at an awards ceremony.
Lisa Hill is part of the Kibble Singing Group and regularly visits care homes and sheltered housing to sing for residents.
Kibble invited along friends, family and former pupils to the campus in Paisley for its first ever Kibble Oskars.
Young people were given awards for their roles in cultural events like the RSNO Big Takeover, Care 2 Create celebration and the Spree Festival.
Stanely Park Care Home activities co-ordinator, Anna-Maria Smith and resident Betty McKim, were at the ceremony and thanked Lisa for all the times she’s visited.
Anna-Maria said: “When kids come into the home they bring it alive. Some of our quieter residents change from being silent to singing along and joining in.
“We always look forward to the visits of the singers and I want to say thanks to Lisa and everyone at Kibble for taking the time to make everybody’s day.”
Guests at the event were treated to mocktails and music as well as an exhibition of some of the work that pupils have made in the past year.
Jim Gillespie, chief executive of Kibble Group, said: “From playing guitar with Paolo Nutini to conducting the national orchestra, the levels of achievement from our young people this year is incredible.
“Their hard work and that of our team at Kibble means that we can provide opportunities for life changing experiences.
“I am also very proud of young people like Lisa for sharing her singing talents with older people in Paisley. She has gone above and beyond bringing them a great deal of joy and I am glad that some of the local residents could join us in celebrating her achievements.”
