Families and friends of our St Catherine’s residents gathered in our home’s main lounge for a festive get-together, sharing seasonal treats of mince pies and mulled wine and enjoying each other’s company.
An uplifting session of hymns and traditional carols was followed by all the fun and anticipation of a raffle with prizes of wine, fizz and boxes of chocolates on offer; then it was off to browse some of the seasonal gifts on display, many of them handmade made by our talented residents.
The relaxed get-together, surrounded by Christmas trees, lights and decorations, proved to be the perfect atmosphere for mingling and chatting to fellow residents and their relatives.
“Christmas is such a special time,” said St Catherine’s Activity Co-ordinator, Sarah Avery, “and it was lovely to see everyone coming together to share in the season of goodwill.”
