Residents turn crafty to celebrate Royal Wedding

April 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Residents at Hillcroft House have been busy creating a crafts display at the home in Finborough Road.  Their handiwork based on the Royal Wedding will a surprise for friends and family until the big day – but Activities Co-ordinator Cat Anderson-Mills says it will be worth the wait.

She added: “Working on the display has been great fun for the residents, who are all really excited about the wedding.  It’s brought back lots of memories for them of other Royal weddings, as well as their own, and it’s been great to see them reminiscing together.  There’s a real buzz in the air and we’re all looking forward to watching the wedding together and having a little party with our Union Jacks on display.”

Mrs Anderson-Mills did reveal that part of the craft-making has involved making paper dolls of William and Kate as they might look on their wedding day.  She said: “We’re all dying to know what Kate is going to wear and it’s been really interesting seeing what each person has come up with – it’s inspired lots of discussions amongst the residents!”

Hillcroft House, which is owned by leading East Anglian care provider Healthcare Homes, is graded as ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission, the independent inspection body of health and social care in England.

Chief Executive Richard Clough said: “It’s really important for our residents to come together on big occasions like this – it gives them a real feeling of camaraderie and enjoyment.  We’re sure their display will be a fantastic testament to the Royal Wedding.”
