Residents from
Fairway View care home in Bulwell spent the day with children from Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Catholic Primary Academy recently.
In an effort to encourage intergenerational friendship and a strong sense of community, the children joined residents at Fairway View for a day of reading and games, followed by a good chat over cakes.
90-year-old resident Bernie Hallam, a former teacher, said, ‘
It really took me back to when I’d sit and read with the children I taught. The children who visited were so well behaved and friendly, they are welcome any time.’
Melanie Hayes, the Home Manager at Fairway View, added,
‘It’s always a pleasure to have our local schools visit, and they bring such joy to our residents.
‘It’s important to everyone at Fairway View to remain an active part of our community, which is why special visits like these mean so much to us.’
