Chelmunds Court Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, was alive with colour, music, as residents, families, staff, entertainers, and the local community came together for the home’s much-anticipated Summer Fete. The event offered an afternoon packed with entertainment, delicious food, lively stalls, and the warmth of community connection.
The fete featured performances from the Boogaloo Babes and singer Mark, along with a variety of stalls and activities for all ages. Guests mingled, shared stories, and enjoyed the relaxed, sunny atmosphere, while residents were able to fully participate thanks to the dedicated support of staff and volunteers.
The annual event at Chelmunds Court is more than just a summer celebration, it’s an important opportunity to strengthen relationships between residents, their families, and the wider community, while also raising vital funds to enhance amenities and provide even more activities, resources, and comforts for residents.
The atmosphere was described as “vibrant, fun, and fabulous” by attendees. One family member commented, “A tremendous amount of effort obviously went into this fabulous event. A massive ‘well done’ to all the staff. An indisputable 10/10.” Another added, “It was a wonderful day enjoyed by all, well done everyone.”
For many, the highlight of the day was simply seeing the joy on residents’ faces.
Chelmunds Court looks forward to continuing this much-loved tradition, celebrating the spirit of togetherness and ensuring residents remain at the heart of every event.
