⭐️ Mulberry Court Features on BBC’s The One Show ⭐️

Staff and residents at Mulberry Court Care Home in are celebrating their newfound fame as a video they recorded was featured on BBC’s The One Show in their One Big Thank You segment.

It all came about because big-hearted nine-year-old twins, George and Stanley, decided to make the world a better place by carrying out 12 Acts of Kindness in the run up to Christmas. One of their acts was visiting Mulberry Court to bring some joy to the residents there.

The staff and residents at the home were so grateful to the boys that they recorded a thank you video which was aired on The One Show, much to the delight of everyone at the home. The piece was introduced by none other than TV royalty, Miranda Hart, a firm favourite of all the residents at Mulberry Court.

🧙 Mount Vale Creates Special Garden for Gnome-obsessed Resident 🧙

When Margaret first moved into Mount Vale Care Home in , colleagues didn’t realise she came as a package deal. They quickly came to understand that Margaret couldn’t settle if she didn’t have her favourite companions with her – she was missing the ceramic gnomes from her garden that she had collected over the years.

The team set about preparing an outdoor space where Margaret’s much-loved collection of gnomes could be recreated. Led by the home’s Head of Maintenance, Shaun, everyone joined forces to clear an area directly outside Margaret’s bedroom window so she could see and interact with her beloved gnomes all the time.

Now Margaret’s new gnome garden is her pride and joy, it brings her so much comfort to spend time with her new collection of gnomes donated by the home’s generous Administrator, Sarah, it is like having a piece of her old home with her.

What a fantastic story! 👏
