West End Seniors' Network Kay Stovold Memorial Fund
The West End Seniors' Network (WESN) Kay Stovold Memorial Fund was established to honour longtime West End resident and community volunteer, Kay Stovold, one of the co-founders of the Network. The income from the Kay Stovold Memorial Fund for the West End Seniors' Network helps support "Kay's Place" in the Denman Place Mall. Kay's Place provides a place to receive information and referrals on various senior topics, help with housing and peer support sessions… in fact, it is the kind of place that Kay Stovold dreamed of when she helped start the West End Seniors' Network all those years ago.
From its start in 1979 when a small group of dedicated volunteers got together to 'do something' to support the thousands of seniors living in the West End, today WESN offers a thousand members a wide range of programs, services, and social and educational events at three locations, supported by a staff of 24 and more than 200 dedicated volunteers!
