Borough Care residents and their families got into the festive spirit at a Christmas tea dance, held at Offerton Community Centre.
During the afternoon, various singers provided entertainment for residents to dance and sing along to. Stockport’s Intergeneration Choir, which some Borough Care residents and staff are part of, sang a number of Christmas songs and carols.
Borough Care’s team of activity lifestyle facilitators devised and put on a performance entitled ‘ALFs Christmas Carol’, which involved the team dressing up and singing various carols.
Sophie Gardiner, area manager at Borough Care, says: “It was an incredible event, which everyone looks forward to each year. It’s a time for Borough Care staff, health professionals, residents and their families to come together to celebrate the festive season.
"Our residents and their families enjoy the social aspect of the monthly tea dances we host, which culminate in the Christmas tea dance. The dances are also open to the local community and provide a great opportunity for different generations to socialise and have fun together. The dances definitely demonstrate that caring is sharing, as everyone joins together to enjoy themselves.”
During the afternoon, residents enjoyed lots of singing and dancing. Borough Care’s head office team dressed up as elves, as it was also the company’s ELF day. They were on hand to get the party started and mingle with residents.
Residents and guests tucked into hot turkey and stuffing sandwiches and mince pies, along with a glass of Bucks Fizz.
