Local nursing homes hold Easter competition for schools
Rotherwood Healthcare are holding a series of competitions across their nursing homes for Easter this year. Hampton Grange, Gwen Walford and Lynhales Hall nursing homes will all take part with selected schools and nurseries. Students will be asked to create Easter themed art whether they colour something or draw something from scratch. Residents at each of the homes will judge the submissions and decide the winners. Each home will choose one winner to receive an Easter themed prize. Hampton Grange and Gwen Walford Manager, Dan Bridges, said “We were lucky enough to receive handmade Christmas cards from students at St Thomas Cantilupe CE Primary School last year. We are very excited that we are able to do something with them again in 2021 and this time be able to give something back with a prize for the winner! It’s all part of our goal towards community engagement for this year”.
