What an amazing VE Day celebration! 🇬🇧✨

From the fantastic balloon decorations to the delicious food, the atmosphere was incredible from start to finish. The absolute stars of the show were The D-Day Dollies, who were absolutely fabulous and had everyone singing along and smiling all day long!

One of our wonderful local connections, St Albans Good Neighbour Scheme, recently reached out to see whether we could support their volunteers with people moving techniques.

A huge thank you to Raj, Director at Therapies on Thames- Rehabilitation matters for elderly, who kindly came down to host an exclusive evening workshop for their volunteers 👏

It was a really interactive session and, due to the nature of the volunteers’ roles, there were lots of great questions and discussions throughout — which was fantastic to see! 💬

The workshop covered:

✅ People moving
✅ Falls prevention
✅ Parkinson’s awareness and support

If you believe these sessions would benefit you, your company, or your volunteers, please do get in touch. Raj is happy to provide these FREE sessions to help support the community and improve confidence and knowledge within care and volunteering roles. 💙

We celebrated all of our wonderful nurses and student nurses with a very special afternoon together 💙

A huge thank you to Dumitru for having a beautiful cake specially made for the occasion, it was delicious!, and to our amazing chef and kitchen staff who prepared a delicious buffet for everyone to enjoy. Our fantastic wellbeing team also worked hard to put up lovely decorations, helping to make the day feel extra special.

Staff, families, and residents all came together to celebrate and hear from some of our nurses about why they chose to become nurses. It was truly inspiring listening to their, passion, and dedication to caring for others.
