💐 Happy Mother’s Day! 💐

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating the incredible women who make Richmond Villages such special places to live.

We recently spoke with Pauline from Richmond Bede Village about her beautiful life story, from meeting her husband Terrence, to over 60 years of marriage, and the joy she finds in being a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.

Her reflections are heartfelt reminders of what Mother’s Day is all about.

Random Acts of Kindness Day at Bede 💛

Our residents explored what kindness means to them, sharing thoughtful reflections that inspired us all.

And kindness didn’t stop there…

We also welcomed three tiny kittens brought in by Nena, who kindly let our residents enjoy some cuddles, purrs, and playful moments. Their visit brought so much joy to the village, there were smiles all around! 😺

What a lovely way to celebrate random acts of kindness!
