On 18th June we celebrated Father’s Day with our Male residents who choose a John Wayne film to watch on the big screen, whilst being spoilt with chocolate, sweets and popcorn. Other residents enjoyed playing board games and having a quiet drink.

The 20th June saw our annual Staff Talent Show for our residents. This year we had six teams from our 3 homes competing to put on their Shakespear themed performances for our residents. This year’s winners were our catering and household staff who performed a fantastically funny musical take of Shakespeare.
