Local school welcomes care home residents to their Easter concert

Residents were very excited to have been invited to a wonderful morning at their local St Thomas More Catholic Primary School’s Easter Concert. The residents enjoyed an amazing morning of hearing the children sing their beautiful songs and performing their Easter concert. It was a wonderful opportunity for all to reminisce of Easter when they were younger, engaging with each other and the children of the school, sharing stories on how things have changed. Resident Fiona was delighted immersing herself in to the morning of song and prayer.

Resident Fiona said: "It was lovely, to see all the children, I really it, yes everything was just great."

Marvellous Bindura, General Manager said: “It was lovely that the local school opened their Easter Concert to our residents, it means so much to the residents, it allows for the young and the old to mix and the wonderful experiences are shared. Our residents were overjoyed on their return. I believe as do we all here at the home it is crucial to create links with our local schools and within the community to continue for our residents to remain a part of the community.”

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
