A Heartfelt Surprise for a Truly Remarkable Lady 💙
Today has been nothing short of wonderful as we celebrated an extraordinary woman, Marianne who has dedicated an incredible 50 years to the NHS.
Following our NHS Big Tea event last month, we were contacted by one of the talented singers from The BIG Sing choir, asking if we’d like to take part in a surprise celebration for their fellow member, Marianne. We didn’t hesitate to say yes!
This afternoon, members of the The BIG Sing Choir joined us at Oakley Grange for a beautiful performance enjoyed by residents and staff alike. What Marianne didn’t know, was that the whole event was in her honour!
After the final song, we revealed the surprise with a heartfelt presentation of gifts and speeches, including a special tribute from the Mayor of Whitnash, Adrian Barton.
And of course, no Oakley Grange celebration would be complete without a fabulous cake, lovingly made by our amazing kitchen team. 🎂
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make today so special and most of all, to Marianne, for five decades of outstanding service, care, and commitment to our NHS and community. You are truly inspiring.
