On Friday 11th April, staff members dressed in traditional clothing from their home countries, sharing their culinary delights and unique traditions with everyone at the care home.
The event featured a variety of traditional dishes from across the world, all prepared by the staff, who shared their personal favourites from their home countries. Residents gathered in the café to join in the celebration, relishing the flavours and engaging with staff about their attire and the cultural significance of the day.
Lower Meadow regularly hosts cultural days, encouraging staff to participate in festivals and holy days. This event highlighted the importance of embracing cultural diversity. It allowed the community to celebrate and respect one another’s backgrounds, creating an atmosphere of inclusivity.
The atmosphere was filled with vibrant energy, with music in the air and smiles all around.
