The residents had been diligently knitting and creating poppies for one another and for the Ashfield Remembrance Tree, which we proudly showcased for everyone to see on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day.

We extend our gratitude to all the friends and families who visited, especially the staff who attended with their families, which was truly delightful to witness. A special thanks goes to Marcus and Benjamin for once again facing the cold to complete the display, and to the catering team for helping to provide a fantastic spread.
