On Thursday 8th May, from 12.30pm, Care UK’s Whitebourne, on Burleigh Road, is welcoming local people to honour the 80th anniversary of VE Day with its very own 1940s-themed tea party.
VE Day was celebrated on 8th May 1945, after Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio that the war in Europe had come to an end. This emotional news sparked celebrations across the country, with many taking to the streets for spontaneous parties.
The team at Whitebourne has been hard at work organising their own special commemorative events, which will see residents and guests enjoy delicious food, entertainment and dancing as they embrace the spirit of the 1940s.
Designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence, Whitebourne is a purpose-designed care home with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The home provides personalised residential care, short term respite care, expert nursing care and specialist dementia care for older people, including those with physical disabilities.
