Erica Duckworth, Resident Services Manager, has shared this lovely update following our recent photo competition.
Almshouse residents, Mary and Brenda, whose winning photograph celebrated the joy, connection and sense of community at the heart of almshouse life, enjoyed an afternoon tea at the beautiful Chilston Park as their prize. The winning entry, titled “Tea with neighbours”, was submitted by Cutbush and Corrall Charity in Kent.
The photograph above shows Mary and Brenda alongside Darren, one of the resident service coordinators, who took the original winning photo (below).
We are delighted to hear that they all had a wonderful afternoon and thank everyone involved for sharing this special moment.
