Praise in the Garden

At Pelham House Care Home we are attempting to spread a little joy into lives and places that have become isolated for people who don't understand, this has put quite a lot of extra strain and stress on staff and like myself, activities coordinator. It is requiring a lot of creativity, as games and crafts will pass the time but they do not replace the feeling of being loved when visitors arrive.

I was blessed beyond measure when I met, Richard Heywood (Folkestone) who offered us some of his time, sitting in our garden singing to and with our residents. This has made an enormous difference to the lives of the old folk. (This is being done with great care for Richard and the residents, distance and contact all observed).
