Solihull care home to step back into 1940s to honour VE Day
A care home in Solihull is inviting the local community to mark 81 years since the end of the second world war in Europe.
On Friday 8th May from 2pm, Care UK’s Blossomfield Grange is throwing a 1940s-themed party to honour the anniversary of VE Day.
VE Day marks the moment Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio that the war in Europe had come to an end. This news sparked celebrations across the country, with many taking to the streets for spontaneous parties.
Visitors to the Worcester Way home can enjoy an afternoon of delicious 1940s-themed food, live entertainment and plenty of dancing as they come together to embrace the spirit of the era.
Resident Ron Gamsby, 91, said: “VE Day will always be an important day as it marks the end of the war, which I remember well in my younger years.”
Jo Hopkins, Customer Relations Manager at Blossomfield Grange, added: “VE Day holds great significance for so many people, and we’re proud to be marking the 81st anniversary by bringing residents and the local community together.
“This event offers a wonderful opportunity to reawaken nostalgic memories and provides a meaningful way for older people, including those living with dementia, to connect with others while commemorating such a significant moment in history.
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming the people of Solihull for what is set to be a day to remember.”
Blossomfield Grange provides high-quality residential, dementia and short-term respite care, with the home incorporating plenty of space for leisure activities and hobbies. The building has been configured into a series of neighbourhoods to facilitate the creation of close-knit communities and encourage social interaction among the residents.
