At Evelyn May House, part of the Runwood Homes Group, stories from the past often spark the most meaningful conversations, and for resident June, one cherished photograph from 1941 continues to bring comfort, pride, and memories of her beloved father.
During the Second World War, June was evacuated from her home and spent four years living in Cardiff. Despite the challenges of the time, she remembers her stay with great fondness. While in Cardiff, she received a precious photograph and heartfelt message from her father, a keepsake that has remained by her side ever since.
Now, decades later, June continues to proudly share the photo with fellow residents and staff at Evelyn May House , speaking warmly of her time in Cardiff and the close bond she shared with her father.
Kerry and Dawn, Lifestyle Coordinators at Evelyn May House, reflected on the experience:
“It was a pleasure to sit with June and listen to her memories about her father and the evacuation,” they said.
June’s story touched everyone at Evelyn May House and reminded staff of the incredible journeys residents have lived through.
Evelyn May House honours the memories and life experiences of residents, knowing that every story shared brings the community little closer together.
