At Canterbury Care, we recently celebrated the timeless tradition of Burns Night with an array of festive activities that brought joy and camaraderie to our residents.
Woodhurst Care Centre, in particular, enjoyed a special performance by the talented dancer Lily, who graced the occasion with her traditional dance routines. Residents were enthralled by the traditional dance, adding a touch of cultural richness to the festivities.
Woodhurst took the celebration a step further by engaging residents in creative pursuits. One group dedicated their time to crafting thistles, symbolic of Scotland, while another group transformed these thistles into stunning centerpieces. Alongside the visual delights, residents took a moment to reflect on and celebrate the aspects they love most about Scotland, fostering a sense of connection to the culture.
Meanwhile, Collisdene Care Centre hosted a themed party that brought the spirit of Burns Night into every corner of the home. Residents participated in crafting homemade traditional crafts, adding a personal touch to the decor. The home was transformed into a picturesque celebration of Scottish heritage, creating a festive environment that resonated with joy.
The Burns Night festivities at Collisdene Care Centre also included a grand traditional lunch, a feast that delighted the residents’ taste buds and added a culinary highlight to the day. The themed party, coupled with the delectable traditional lunch, made the celebration at Collisdene Care Centre a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.
At Canterbury Care, we cherish these moments of cultural celebration and connection. The Burns Night festivities across our homes reflect our commitment to creating enriching experiences for our residents, fostering a sense of community and shared joy. Here’s to the spirit of Scottish traditions and the warmth they bring to our Canterbury Care family!
