DANCEMANIA IN POPLARS

The Residents at Birchy Hill enjoyed music from the 60s and 70s and they could not sit still when the Activities Organiser Dana asked them to dance, too.

They kept going for almost an hour and were pleasantly exhausted afterwards.

For one dance the Manager “Mark Yon” joined in as well.

CHILDREN IN NEED 2019

Charity Party

Mike Sidaway entertained our Residents and guests with his lovely voice on a musical trip through time. 

Our Chef “Sam” took care of everybody’s physical well-being and created a very yummy ‘Pudsey’ cake, which was eaten in no time.

I think it’s right to say that all enjoyed the afternoon.
