A care home in Birmingham is inviting the local community to get into the festive spirit at its very own Christmas fete.
On Sunday 15th December, from 1.30pm Care UK’s Metchley Manor, on Church Road, is welcoming members of the community to join residents and team to kick-start the festive season with a special fete ‘yule’ not want to miss. There will be stalls to browse through, mulled wine, mince pies, carol singing and a special visit from Santa Claus.
Kim-Marie Newton, General Manager at Metchley Manor, said: “Here at Metchley Manor, we’re already counting down until the big day – which is why we’re excited to be kicking off the festivities with our very own Christmas fete.
“We strive to play an active role in our community, and we’re delighted to be opening the doors to our neighbours to enjoy the festivities together. It’s also a lovely time for residents to reminisce about their happy Christmas memories, share a story or two, and meet new people from the local community.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming local people for what we expect will be a lovely day for all – I can hear the jingle bells already!” Designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence, Metchley Manor, which remains open to potential residents, incorporates space for hobby and leisure activities.
The building has been configured into a series of neighbourhoods to help facilitate the creation of close-knit communities and encourage social interaction among the residents.
