Hampton Grove visit Lincolnshire Wildlife Park

Residents were able to see animals from all round the world in person, and had a chance to enjoy watching penguins being feed, tigers play fighting and the meerkats getting up to mischief.

Residents were able to spend the day at the zoo, and enjoyed a packed lunch and snacks provided by the homes hospitality team, and singing songs on the way home on the home’s minibus.

Ewa Drzewicka General Manager of Hampton Grove said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their day out at the zoo. Trips out in the homes mini bus are a regular event for the residents, and we always ask for ideas on where they would best like to go. The day was a lot of fun, residents were able to pet certain animals on the day which was quite therapeutic, and we had great weather for the outing.”
