Belle Isle Senior Action – (BISA) was formally known as Belle Isle Elderly Winter Aid (BIEWA) and was established in 1985 in response to severe winter weather conditions which put the health of older people in danger from the effects of cold weather in this particularly bad winter. The health effects were exacerbated by poor housing stock, poor insulation and unaffordable fuel bills. Belle Isle is recognised as a deprived area and older people’s income is a particular issue in this area.

We provide a number of services for older people in the area, including trips, groups, classes and more.
