Yorkshire care home invites community to honour VE Day
A Yorkshire care home is opening its doors to the community to mark 80 years since the end of World War Two.
Care UK’s Chocolate Works, in York is welcoming local people to honour the 80th anniversary of VE Day with their very own 1940s-themed street party from 2pm-4 pm.
VE Day was celebrated on 8th May 1945, after Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio that the war in Europe had come to an end. This emotional news sparked celebrations across the country, with many taking to the streets for spontaneous parties.
The team at Chocolate Works has been hard at work organising their own special commemorative event, which will see residents and guests enjoy an afternoon of delicious food, entertainment and dancing as they embrace the spirit of the 1940s.
Chocolate Works has been designed to deliver the very best standards of care and to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence. The homes have been configured into a series of neighbourhoods to help facilitate the creation of close-knit communities and encourage social interaction among the residents. There is also plenty of space, both indoors and out, for relaxation and recreation.
