Hide AdRachel Stevens, Life Enrichment Lead at Wykeham House, said: “We have so many exciting things planned for our residents over the Easter period and we decided to sit down with them and decide on a way we could give something back to our wonderful community.
"Our residents decided that it would be nice to ensure children whose parents may be struggling are still given an egg this year.”
Joyce, a resident at Wykeham House said: “It is fantastic that we can ask our friends and family to help us support the community. It makes us feel good that we know we have helped those who may need it and that our families can be part of that too!”
The 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.
