The Grange residents delighted to attend St Catherine’s Church Hall coffee morning

Residents at The Grange, in Wickford, were happy to receive an invite to their local church’s monthly coffee morning. 

The team and residents wrapped up warm and walked the short distance to St Catherine’s Church Hall, where they were greeted by all the lovely ladies in attendance. The residents enjoyed tea, coffee and a variety of tasty cakes, all in the company of friends, both old and new. The morning was a great opportunity for residents to have a lovely chat in a new, comfortable and relaxing space. Residents enjoyed introducing themselves to the members there and were interested to learn of all the other events that are taking place at the church hall soon, like the Church Fair, just one of the events everyone at the home is eager to attend.

The coffee morning was a great success, not only did residents enjoy delicious refreshments and meaningful conversations, but the home was able to re-establish previous events and activities with the Church, like their monthly church service. New opportunities have also arisen, with the church inviting The Grange’s One Voice Choir to come and sing there soon. One Voice Choir is an inclusive group of residents who love to sing. They have performed many shows in the community and are now discussing possible dates to perform at the Church for the community.

The residents had nothing but praise for the coffee morning, stating how much they enjoyed the delicious cakes and are looking forward to coming again. Following such positive feedback, it is needless to say that this will become a regular activity for the home.

It really was a great morning for both the staff team and residents, and opened up lots of opportunity for future events and activities, which will build upon their connections with the church and its wonderful members.
