Commenting on the initiative, Mrs Lockhart said, ‘The Senior Citizens Morning, organised by McDonald's Banbridge in partnership with the PSNI, presents an excellent opportunity for senior citizens to gather, socialise, and access crucial information on staying safe in the digital age. With internet scams posing an increasing risk to individuals of all ages, particularly seniors, initiatives like this play a vital role in raising awareness and equipping communities with the knowledge to protect themselves.

I commend McDonald's Banbridge for their proactive approach to community outreach and for recognizing the unique needs of senior citizens. I also acknowledge the PSNI's dedication to promoting cyber safety and applauds their collaboration with McDonald's Banbridge in addressing this pressing issue.

I encourage seniors in Banbridge and surrounding areas to take advantage of the Senior Citizens Morning at McDonald's.’
