Bowesbury care home in Derby recently welcomed the local community to an open event with ambassador, television personality, author and wellbeing advocate Anthea Turner.
The event brought together residents, families, and members of the Boulton Moor community for family-friendly fun and activities, raising £140 for Sight Support Derbyshire.
Guests enjoyed a wide range of experiences throughout the home, including:
- Suncatcher painting
- Sunflower seed planting
- Live entertainment and music
- Games and indoor bowling
- Chair exercises held in the cinema room
- Face painting and balloon modelling
- Spring cocktails, mocktails and welcome drinks
- Seasonal taster treats and a bake sale
Speaking after the event, Anthea Turner said, “It was such a pleasure spending time at Bowesbury, getting to know the residents and caring team, and meeting the wonderful Boulton Moor community.
“It was especially rewarding to help raise money for Sight Support Derbyshire through the bake sale – there were so many delicious treats on offer. Thank you to everyone who came along and made the day so special.”
Denise Spencer, the General Manager at Bowesbury, added, “Our Open Day was about more than just showing people around, it was about giving back and getting to know our local community.
“It was incredible to see how many people came to see us and to support Sight Support Derbyshire, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for our next event.”
