We recently enjoyed paying tribute the heroes of World War II, as our care homes across the group celebrated the 80th anniversary of D-Day with a series of nostalgic events that brought residents and their families together.
D-Day Celebrations
The homes were filled with the sounds of the 1940s as vintage-style singers performed classic wartime songs, evoking memories of a bygone era. Whilst some residents enjoyed a WWII ‘pack-up’ of which included a spam sandwiches, boiled eggs and a scone.
D-Day Stories
The celebrations featured an array of activities designed to honour the sacrifices and resilience of those who lived through the war. Union Jack cupcakes, lovingly baked, themed decorations, games and music filled our homes as did tales of courage and community spirit.
“It’s wonderful to see so many of our residents so engaged and happy,” said Andrew Savage, Managing Director of Trust Care. “These events are not just about remembering the past, but also about celebrating the lives and experiences of our residents. Thank you to all our staff who made a fantastic effort to make this day so special and memorable for everyone. Your dedication and hard work is truly appreciated.”
