St Patrick’s Day Celebrations Bring Irish Charm to St Georges

The spirit of St Patrick’s Day was alive and well at St Georges in North Somerset, where residents and staff joined together for a lively day of Irish-themed fun. From crafts to cake, and music to dancing, the celebrations brought warmth, colour, and plenty of smiles throughout the home.

Crafting Irish Gonks and Enjoying Live Music

Residents spent the morning getting creative, making a cheerful family of Irish Gonks. Their handmade decorations were proudly displayed around the home, adding a festive touch to the day. After lunch, the party continued with a live performance from Nick at Mini Concerts, whose music soon had everyone clapping along and enjoying the rhythm.

Dancing, Cake, and Irish Cheer

As the upbeat tunes filled the room, it wasn’t long before a few residents were happily jigging their way into the afternoon. The kitchen team joined in the spirit of the day too, baking a delicious Irish-themed cake that was served with a round of Irish coffees. The combination of music, treats, and laughter made it a truly memorable celebration for all.

While her two children were younger, she joined her husband in his estate agency, but was delighted to return to the care sector in 2020 and now cannot imagine doing anything else.

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.

Catherine has said that working for Allegra with their groundbreaking household model means we are offering a home with compassion and care whilst ensuring residents are retaining their independence and quality of life.
