Excelcare has been overwhelmed at the generosity and support its homes have received from local communities during the COVID - 19 pandemic. From pizza, sweet treats and letters of support, to kindness and love shown by our surrounding communities
Goldenley Care Home recently got a surprise donation of cream teas provided by Peggy’s Cafe in Benfleet. Leslie, Essex Regional Manager received a call from the cafe who explained they had set themselves a personal challenge to donate 600 cream teas to the local community and wanted Goldenley to be included. Leslie was thrilled at the kind offer and accepted immediately.
Usually, everyone enjoys teas and coffees at 3 pm so this was a perfect opportunity to treat them to something a little different. Faith, Lifestyle Coordinator along with Home Manager, Christine greeted the team from Peggy’s cafe outside the home and posed proudly for a picture together
Faith had previously set up a tea trolly ready to receive the cream teas. Once loaded up, the trolley was taken around the home and met with many thrilled, smiling faces once they saw the delicious scones and clotted cream. It really made everyone's afternoon a little bit extra special. One resident even commented that; “they are lovely, I better watch my waistline”
Thank you to everyone at Peggy’s Cafe that made this generous donation to the home, you are true community heroes.
