A care home celebrated Harvest Festival by collecting food for a local food bank.
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Rose Lodge Care Home in Wisbech held a service of celebration for the Harvest Festival.
This was attended by parishioners from St Peter's Church, residents' families, and the community.
The home collected a hamper of food and produce to donate to a local food bank.
After the service, residents and visitors enjoyed a 'Cheese & Ale' event, joined by members of the Wisbech U3A.
Meg Jones, general manager, said: "As always, we’ve all been looking forward to Harvest Festival.
"It’s such a lovely time of year – the residents love the church service, giving thanks and getting together with the local community."
Ethel, a resident, said: “I love Harvest Festival, it reminds me of so many church services I’ve attended over the years.
"I love singing hymns and it was wonderful to be able to donate goods for the local food bank.”
Rose Lodge Care Home, run by Barchester Healthcare, provides nursing, residential, and respite care.
