Care UK’s Seccombe Court, on Gardner Way, recently opened its doors for a special event to profile residents’ incredible knowledge and talents.
On the day, the local community enjoyed a variety of talks from residents at Seccombe Court which started with a presentation by Nick Allen, 96, who shared insights into the history of Adderbury.
The day concluded with an impressive art showcase by resident Roy Brown, 82, who displayed his artwork for visitors to admire. The collection included local landscapes, animal portraits and landmarks from Roy’s travels.
Guests also enjoyed a selection of complimentary refreshments, including homemade cakes and pastries, prepared by the home’s Head Chef, Paul Ganea.
Commenting on the event, resident Nick Allen said: “The response was fantastic, it was lovely to have local people in the audience and to hear some of their family history in relation to the village. It was a very gratifying experience.”
Guests were also given a complete tour of the home and its grounds by Steve Dumbrill, Customer Relations Manager and Helen O’Driscoll, Lifestyle Lead.
