The lead up to Christmas has been a busy time at Holy Cross, with the care home opening its doors to welcome everyone to a series of parties and carol concerts.
Holy Cross is a well-known and long established part of the community in the High Barnes area of Sunderland so many local people accepted an invitation to join residents and their families for Mass in the home’s chapel on Christmas Eve.
The home’s final festive party though was a more intimate affair. Some old time entertainment was provided for a residents-only evening by singing duo Jimmy and Val. An appreciative audience needed no encouragement to join in the duo’s traditional musical hall and Christmas songs.
Holy Cross arranges regular activities and entertainment in the home throughout the year, so if you have a talent you could share with us or a creative hobby that may interest our residents, please let us know. Our resident Activities Co-ordinator, Liz King, will be delighted to hear from you. You can contact her on 0191 567 0862.
