A WILLITON based housing organisation which provides a personal alarm system has been awarded two gold stars.

Magna Careline West Somerset’s alarm system helps people remain independent in their own homes. 

In a recent review, it was given gold stars for best practice in two areas – installing urgent requests for alarms at evenings and weekends, and response times to customers.

The organisation has received renewed accreditation and a glowing report from the sector’s regulatory body, the Telecare Services Association (TSA).

Pictured with the accreditation certificate are Barbara Mullan and Christine Bulpin.
