Residents and staff from Woodbury Court Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, proudly took part in a meaningful outing to Southend-on-Sea in support of the Poppies on the Pier project, a community-led tribute honouring those who have served in the Armed Forces.
The group delivered a heartfelt collection of hand-knitted poppies, lovingly created by residents and team members, to be included in the upcoming installation along Southend Pier. The home will return soon to assist with attaching the poppies, contributing to what promises to be a striking and moving tribute of remembrance.
Following the visit to the pier, residents enjoyed a relaxing lunch and spent time browsing the local garden centre, adding a leisurely and social element to the day’s reflective purpose.
This special trip highlights the importance of community engagement, remembrance, and connection, values that remain at the heart of everything Woodbury Court Care Home do.
