Residents at Royal Star & Garter are enjoying the build-up to Christmas.

Residents have been helping decorate the Homes, in Solihull, Surbiton and High Wycombe as well as taking part in festive arts and crafts and cookery activities, concerts and enjoying yuletide outings.

Residents at the High Wycombe Home have been enjoying Christmas movie afternoons and there was intergenerational fun when they watched a Nativity play at nearby Little Kingshill School. Cooking activities have seen them make delicious mince pies, and closer to the big day itself, they will watch a pantomime and take part in a Big Christmas Quiz.

Shirley Hall, Director of Care and Wellbeing at Royal Star & Garter, said: ‘Christmas means a lot to many residents, and staff work really hard to make the festive season magical for residents, their loved ones and the local community. It’s a joy to see so much cheer in our Homes.‘

Royal Star & Garter provides loving, compassionate care to veterans and their partners living with disability or dementia and in 2023 launched new services to reach out into the community.

Royal Star & Garter is welcoming new residents in all its Homes. Further information about becoming a resident or working for Royal Star & Garter can be found on the Royal Star & Garter website at www.starandgarter.org.
