What a massive success our B2 fundraiser was! A big thank you to everyone who supported our tombola with donations and who came and spent their hard earned money! Another big thank you to Alison and all the kitchen staff for making the gorgeous curries that went down a storm and to the International Restaurant who donated various starters to us. Also thank you to the B2 staff who all came in on their days off to help. We raised an incredible £700.00 🥳👏

What happens when a passion for dance becomes part of your day job?

For Bob, a Care Assistant at Anchor - St Edith's Court, it means bringing music, movement and plenty of encouragement to regular Zest sessions with residents.

Bob has been delivering Zest at the care home since completing his training, and says it’s his favourite part of the job.

“It’s my favourite part of the job. We all feel good after it.”

It’s lovely to see Bob using something he’s passionate about to help residents stay active, have fun and enjoy time together. 💜 Zest Wellbeing
