RCSI hosted its annual Christmas in the Community Senior Citizens Lunch on Wednesday, 7 December. The lunch has been held annually in the College for more than 25 years and is organised voluntarily by staff from RCSI for senior citizens living in the catchment area of the College.

More than 60 senior citizens aged between 60 to 90 years of age attended the Christmas lunch which incorporates music, singing, dancing and raffles.

Prof. Cathal Kelly, Registrar/CEO of RCSI, said: "Every year we look forward to welcoming our local senior citizens to the College. The annual event is much anticipated by the locals and offers a good distraction from the cold days of winter! The staff of RCSI who organise the lunch do so voluntarily and they very much enjoy giving something back to the local community."
