Seeing the residents interacting with lambs was incredibly heart-warming and I know that each and every one of our residents appreciated the farmers who brought the lambs, for taking the time out of their busy schedule to make the day extra special,” said Kelly Barrow, General Manager at Nazareth Care, Northampton.

Mini Meadows Farm owner Ben Barraclough said; “When we got the call from the team at Nazareth, we did everything we could to make their aspiration a reality. Seeing the sheer joy brought to the residents faces has certainly made my day, month or even year! I can tell that this is a special moment which those individuals will remember."
