A community member was driving home after work one afternoon, and she noticed an old man was lying on the ground near a footpath close to Cove Hill Shopping Centre. She pulled over to see if she could assist.

The elderly gentleman had tripped and fallen on his way home from doing some shopping. Two teenage community members were assisting him. One was cradling his head and stopping the blood flow from where he had hit his head on the footpath, and the other was calling the ambulance.

The young people had the situation under control and displayed a true sense of care and kindness to an older member of the community.

It was described as incredibly touching and heartening to see younger members of our community behaving in such a positive and caring manner.
