Story

Our residents have coped so well with a year of lockdown. It is quite boring being stuck indoors and having no face to face visitors. They are heroes!

We want to cheer them up by replacing some of our tired wheelchairs. We also want to provide more hoist slings so that every resident who needs them can have their own. We are missing our League of Friends and their wonderful fundraising events which have not been allowed to take place for over a year. Please help us if you can - every £1 helps.

As the weather warms up we will be encouraging every resident to do at least one lap of the gardens in their wheelchair throughout the month of March. You may like to sponsor them. 5 laps is 1 mile.
