Celebrating 3 Years of Support from The Hippodrome!
The Hippodrome in Bo’ness has been part of the Respitality initiative for 3 fantastic years, donating free tickets to the Centre, allowing carers to take a break from their caring role and recharge.
Their continued support makes a real difference, and we would like to express our gratitude by celebrating them this month.
Who is The Hippodrome?
The Hippodrome in Bo’ness, winner of the Best Cinema Experience in Scotland 2019, is Scotlandโs oldest surviving purpose-built cinema. With many original features preserved, stepping into the Hippodrome is like taking a step back in time. Carers enjoyed this charming, classic setting, as well as the opportunity to take time out from their day-to-day routine to relax and enjoy the fantastic selection of films.
How did carers benefit?
Carers who visited The Hippdrome through Respitality found the atmosphere great and the staff welcoming.
For some carers, the cost of outings can be challenging as one carer shared “We struggle to make ends meet and a trip to the cinema is a real treat.” Thanks to the generosity of The Hippodrome Cinema, we can offer free tickets to local carers and their families for film screenings. Many carers appreciated this opportunity to have a break from their caring role, and spend some time with family in a great atmosphere.ย
