Our stories

It was International Picnic Day on 18th June and just because we couldn’t go out we didn’t want to miss our lovely day out, so we had a picnic at Field View with lots of lovely scones, cakes and picnic sandwiches.

What a lovely Surprise!

Kents Hill Care Home had a surprise delivery from Costa Coffee; they brought along over 150 latte’ and Americano’s for the staff to enjoy. 

Very much appreciated; thank you very much Costa Coffee.

What a great day we had with our pop up café for our key workers. We had a good staff turnout and the weather was perfect. Overall a very good day.
