Mother’s Day Flowers from Forget Me Not Florals Brighten Fairmile Grange

Fairmile Grange in Christchurch, Dorset was filled with colour and smiles this Mother’s Day thanks to a thoughtful surprise from the charity Forget Me Not Florals. Residents were delighted to receive beautiful, fresh flower arrangements, thoughtfully donated to help celebrate the day and spread joy throughout the home.

A Touch of Kindness for a Meaningful Day

For residents whose families were unable to visit, the flowers provided a particularly touching gesture. The arrangements were lovingly delivered by Mary from Forget Me Not Florals, whose ongoing support brings comfort and connection to residents throughout the year.

Catherine’s role with Allegra is to support residents and their families as they explore care options. Working with the teams in the individual homes she ensures that during every stage from initial enquiry through to moving in with us every question is answered, and we offer the reassurance needed for the next chapter in our resident’s life. It is important for our residents to remain part of the community in which will have lived for years, often all their lives, so the other part of this role is connecting with local community groups, charities and organisations.
