Westwood teams up with National Citizen Service

Thank you to Team Blue from National Citizen Service Nottingham for recently joining our residents in the garden at Westwood residential care home in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. Aiming to spruce up the residents outdoor space and make friends along the way, this Worksop community project was a great success and a huge achievement for all involved.

About the summer 2018 garden project, Jimitha Jacob, Westwood’s care home manager said; ‘It was such an inspiring project. All of the volunteers were really excited, generous and brought colour to our garden and residents. They have given us an excellent visual treat and beautiful presentation in our garden to be enjoyed from the inside of our home and on the outside in the garden.’

Westwood’s residents said all of the volunteer were all with full of smiles, energetic and really hardworking. Runwood Homes really welcomes connecting with the community; aiming to establish relationships, grow companionships and create a true sense of belonging and wellbeing for the residents we care for.

NCS is an organisation set up for young people to take on new challenges and meet new friends and working within our residential care home environment helps to bridge the generation gap, benefitting both groups of people.
