Macmillan Coffee Morning

The residents at Waverley Lodge Nursing Home in Romsey, Hampshire recently enjoyed a heartwarming Macmillan Coffee Morning filled with laughter, creativity, and delicious treats. The event brought everyone together to support Macmillan Cancer Support, creating cherished memories and making a positive impact for a great cause.

A Morning of Baking and Bonding

Residents had a wonderful time baking krispie cakes and tray bakes for the coffee morning’s bake sale. The kitchen was alive with activity and the irresistible aroma of sweet treats. It wasn’t just about the baking -residents and staff sat together, chatting over cups of tea, enjoying the cakes, and sharing stories. It was a beautiful example of community spirit at its best.

Kind Contributions for Everyone to Enjoy

A big thank you to Al and Dave for their generous donation, which ensured that every resident and staff member could enjoy a delicious cake during the event. Their thoughtfulness added a special touch to the day, making it even more meaningful for everyone involved.

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.
