THERE was a festive treat in store for residents of St Martin’s Care Home in Redditch when they were joined for their Christmas meal at the Abbey Hotel, by staff and relatives.

54 people sat down to their Christmas dinner, which was paid for by fundraising at the home over the course of the year.

Kerry Davis, administrator and carer, at St Martin’s said: “Everyone had an absolutely fantastic time. The residents thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and talking to a few relatives they were really pleased to see their loved ones enjoying themselves in a different environment and to see how happy and content they are.”

The majority of residents will have had visitors on Christmas Day, but for many this was their opportunity to sit down for Christmas dinner together with family.
