Thank you to Dthe Wheatsheaf at Corbridge for hosting our residents’ special Christmassy lunch. Residents and helpers tucked into a three-course meal with all the Christmas trimmings. The lunch was delicious - the turkey was perfect, the roasties crisp! charlottestraker.org.uk/christmas-lunc…

Our residents had a special preview of the Corbridge Christmas Tree Festival and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Our residents were amazed by the creativity and cleverness of some of the designs. Our Charlotte Straker entry had a theme of “Christmas Past and Christmas Present”.

Together with Tynedale Hospice at Home and the Corbridge Community Partnership we turned the Corbridge Hub into a beautifully decorated Santa’s Grotto and a pop-up shop, plus a delicious tea and cake stall! #fundraising #carehome #charity #respitecare charlottestraker.org.uk/christmas-at-t…
