A Fun-Filled Summer Party at Cherry Blossom Care Home

A Fun-Filled Summer Party at Cherry Blossom Care Home

 

The summer party at Cherry Blossom Care Home in Peterborough, Cambridgshire was a resounding success! This year’s event wasn’t just about celebrating the season, it was also about raising awareness and vital funds for Dementia UK. We’re thrilled to announce that through raffle ticket sales, we were able to contribute over £300 to this fantastic charity!

A Day Filled with Festivities

The event was graced by the presence of the esteemed Mayor of Peterborough, adding a touch of local pride to the festivities. Even the local police officers joined in the fun, showcasing a wonderful sense of community spirit.

Dancing Queens & Summer Treats

The highlight of the day, for many, was the lively performance by a talented ABBA tribute band. Their infectious energy filled the air, getting residents, staff, and guests alike dancing and singing along to classic hits. The beautiful summer weather provided the perfect backdrop for a delicious BBQ, complete with refreshing ice cream to cool down on a warm afternoon.

A Celebration of Community

The most heartwarming aspect of the day was witnessing families, friends, and members of the local community coming together in support of a worthy cause. It was a day filled with laughter, connection, and a shared sense of purpose. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who attended and contributed to making this event such a memorable one!

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.
