Nottinghamshire-based care group honours Remembrance Day across homes
Family members and staff of a Nottinghamshire-based care group have come together across their homes to mark Remembrance Day and pay tribute to those who served.
The various homes of Church Farm Care, which operates 5 homes across Nottinghamshire, took part in different activities, all reflecting and remembering in their own ways.
In Cotgrave, Church Farm care home Cotgrave marked the run up to Remembrance Day by writing poppy poems and creating poppy wreaths, the wreaths were later taken to Southwell Minster ahead of their Remembrance Day service. On Remembrance Sunday, family members attended the local church service where everyone observed the two-minute silence, remembering the sacrifices made.
Church Farm Cotgrave is also home to Alex, who every year since joining the home has raised vital finds for the Royal British Legion. His continued commitment and dedication continues to honour and support the armed forces.
At Wren Hall care home, in Selston, family members gathered in remembrance and to share stories before a special performance from Lewis Goddardeta, who performed classic Elvis hits from his early years. Everyone had a lovely time singing along while honoring and remembering those who served.
Two family members of Field House care home, in Radcliffe on Trent, Ken and Carol, marked the occasion by making 3D remembrance crosses which became a symbol of remembrance within the home.
Lucy Atkinson, co-founder and Director of Church Farm Care, said: “Remembrance Day is an important opportunity for our communities to come together and reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served. It’s a time to honour the bravery and dedication of our Armed Forces, past and present, and ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten. Our family members across all homes really value this day.”
Church farm Care remains dedicated to fostering community and care, ensuring that Remembrance Day is a time to honour the sacrifices of the past and also strengthen bonds between family members, their loved ones, staff and the local community.
