✔️ Warm meals and hot drinks
✔️ Heated rooms and cosy blankets

🌺 Remembrance Day 🌺
“At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”

Today, we pause to honour and remember the brave men and women who served, sacrificed, and gave so much for the freedoms we enjoy today.

At Sydenham House Care Home, Remembrance Day holds deep meaning for many of our residents — some of whom lived through the war years or have family who served. It’s a time for reflection, for sharing stories, and for honouring those we’ve lost.

Together, we wear our poppies with pride.
Together, we remember. ❤️
