Bennett Lodge Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes group, was filled with music, laughter and love as residents, staff and family members came together to celebrate an extraordinary milestone, Peggy’s 101st birthday.
The special celebration took place on 01 February 2026 and brought together Peggy’s friends, family, fellow residents and Bennett Lodge staff for a memorable birthday party in her honour. The event featured live music, dancing and heartfelt moments that reflected the strong sense of community at the home.
The idea for the celebration came about through conversations between Jack and Peggy’s family, with a shared wish to do something truly special to mark such an important birthday. The result was an energetic, joyful and deeply loved atmosphere that was felt by everyone present.
One particularly touching highlight was seeing Peggy sitting with her family and telling them how much she loved them, a moment that captured the true spirit of the day.
Celebrating Peggy’s 101st birthday was not only about marking a remarkable age, but also about spreading joy, connection and happiness throughout the Bennett Lodge community, values that remain at the heart of everything the home does.
