A Harvest Festival held at HC-One’s Dingle Meadow care home in Oldbury helped Residents to meet new people, make friends and create meaningful moments in the company of others.
The event was also in support of Silver Sunday, which helps combat loneliness within the community and helps to increase happiness and wellbeing.
Dingle Meadow welcomed visitors to mark the start of the autumn season on Friday 5th October where they hosted a range of harvest-themed activities.
Relatives and members of the local community including MP Adrian Bailey, Vicar Katherine Evans and Pastor David Hancox joined Residents for the harvest celebrations.
Sharon Gentle, Home Manager at HC-One’s Dingle Meadow said:
“Combining Silver Sunday and Harvest Festival gave Residents the opportunity to get to know people in the community and to build relationships with each other.
“The event was a great success and we were so pleased to be able to donate valuable food to our neighbours.”
Silver Sunday celebrates older people and helps to combat loneliness, while Harvest Festival celebrates food that’s grown and produced on England’s home soil.
Residents had a great day, commenting that it was lovely to have a get together with the local community.
