🎗️ If you're popping along next Friday (24th October) don't forget it's for Breast Cancer Awareness 🎗️
We have a donation point set up along with some games - if you don't have an entirely Pink ensemble don't worry! Even just a splash of Pink spreads awareness!

This Thursday Tony managed to get his winter wardrobe ready (thank you Primark), followed by a side of Pie, Mash and Liquor - courtesy of Manze's Pie And Mash!
A lovely adventure, and a great way to introduce Tony to the local area for the first time!

🎉 The party was a success! 🎉
Thank you to everyone who turned up, and to all those who helped put everything together!
It was a lovely way to showcase the new decking in Emerald House, in dedication to one of our much missed residents, Martin. This wouldn't be possible without the amazing donation that Martin's family made in his name to help improve the unit, and so we are eternally thankful to you as well!
It was also to signify the official opening of The Oaks Care Home once again!
