Residents at Anchor - The Manor House Knaresborough in Yorkshire have been experiencing the magic of having their bucket list dreams turned into reality. Thanks to the home’s dedicated team going above and beyond, the residents’ long-held wishes have come true.

Resident David had always wanted to ride a steam train, and with careful planning, the team at The Manor House Knaresborough were able to make that happen. David enjoyed a scenic train ride across the Yorkshire Dales, with others from the home.

Susan, another resident at The Manor House Knaresborough, was born in Ireland. She always dreamt of returning, so the team brought Ireland to her, transforming the home into a vibrant celebration of Irish culture.

Priors Hall Care Home in Corby recently opened its doors for the latest gathering of its Community Lunch Club - a vibrant afternoon of friendship, food, and shared stories designed to bring together people from across the local area.

The gathering offered a wonderful chance for local neighbours and familiar faces to reconnect. Three Priors Hall residents were especially thrilled to welcome a friend from nearby Priors Hall Park and before the afternoon ended, they exchanged phone numbers to keep in touch beyond the event.
