Residents, staff, and members of the local community came together at Loganberry Lodge Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, on Wednesday 18th June to celebrate National Care Home Open Week with a BBQ and live music event.
Hosted from midday onwards, the celebration was held in the gardens of the Loganberry Lodge and brought together a wonderful mix of people, sunshine, and song. The event was made even more special with a visit from the Colchester City Mayor, Michael Lilly, who joined in the day, enjoying the food, music, and warm atmosphere.
The day was a true testament to the spirit of togetherness, with residents, staff, and the activities team working side by side to make the event a success. Burgers sizzled on the grill, hot dogs were served fresh, and the sound of singing and laughter echoed throughout the grounds.
The idea for the celebration came about during team discussions about how best to mark Open Week, and it proved to be a perfect way to show the local community that the home is open, friendly, and full of life.
From start to finish, the event was a highlight – with every moment filled with joy, connection, and community spirit.
