Care home celebrates VE Day with the RBL and community

Head chef, Nikki whipped up a delicious selection of bacon butties, cakes and delicious snacks for the event visitors and residents.

Paula Melerski, General Manager at Hickathrift House Care Home said: “Many of our residents can remember the end of the war and we all know what it meant for our country so we wanted to celebrate the date and listen to our residents’ memories of the war and the experiences they lived through.”

Betty, a resident at Hickathrift House said: I remember all the family gathering around the radio to listen to Churchill’s speech telling us the war was over, it still gives me goosebumps now, such an important date.  It was wonderful to reminisce and to celebrate with all the staff and residents here, we’ve all had such fun and lots of cake!”
