"Many of our residents have witnessed significant societal change, and their involvement in Pride reflects both their enduring spirit and our commitment to fostering a welcoming, respectful environment for all.

“We are proud to stand alongside them in recognising the importance of visibility, acceptance, and community”

Ethel, a resident at the home, said: “I can remember going to Pride marches back in the 70s so it has been wonderful to see all the different celebrations from around the world. I just love the costumes and the parades. It was marvellous that the home was able to join the community celebrations.”

The care home’s 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.
