Finally, we had a real party atmosphere for Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. We decorated Charnley House with flags, bunting and balloons and had a party tea with an amazing Jubilee cake. Everyone had a flag to wave whilst we watched the many events on the television.

Our residents have been enjoying the company of a lifelike toy cat! The cat has been donated by The Rotary club of Hyde. He purrs, cleans his paws and turns on his back for a belly rub. He has settled in really well and the residents love him The only thing is, he needs a name! We have asked all the residents what they would like him to be called and all of the names will be going in a hat and drawn at random. The name will be revealed soon.
