BBC Radio Ulster - A Kist o Wurds, Series 39, Episode 28

Helen Mark is at Eglinton Community Centre.

Helen Mark is at Eglinton Community Centre to meet Una Cooper of RAPID, who tells Helen about the group's cross-community work for the Healthy Ageing Network.

Helen Mark goes to the Community Centre in Eglinton, to meet Una Cooper of RAPID (the Rural Area Partnership in Derry), who tells Helen about the group's cross-community work for the Healthy Ageing Network, and why they're putting on a special celebration of Ulster Scots traditions. There's piping, poetry, songs and dancing on offer, and among those taking part are Wilson Burgess, Leo Devine, Stewart Buchanan, and Georgina Kee, who teaches the group some energetic Scottish country dances, which leaves Helen in need of a wee cup of tea! To calm things down a bit, Liz Hoy, Kist's own 'poem-hunter', has been busy again discovering another treasure, and as it's nearly Red Nose Day, Willie Cromie has a comic yarn to share.
