✨ We are delighted to share some of the professional photos from our recent Grand Opening celebrations! ✨
What an unforgettable day as we welcomed residents, families, colleagues and the local community for an afternoon filled with entertainment, laughter and celebration. ☀️💙
The celebrations officially began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Stephen Leckie, Lord-Lieutenant of Perth and Kinross, joined by Councillor Chris Ahern, marking the official opening of Kingfisher House and the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our home.
Built on the site of the former Hillside Hospital, the occasion was made even more special as former nurses returned to share treasured memories and photographs, reflecting on the incredible community spirit that once filled the hospital. They spoke about how wonderful it is to see care brought back to such a special place once again.
From Alba Therapy Ponies and spectacular fire performances by Beelieve Circus to live music, a traditional Scottish piper and sunshine in the gardens, there was something for everyone to enjoy! 🐴🔥🎶
One of the day's biggest highlights was watching our very first resident, Frances Kennedy, cut the celebration cake alongside her daughter and granddaughter - using the Lord-Lieutenant's ceremonial sword instead of a traditional cake knife! ⚔️🎂
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this very special milestone and helped make the day one to remember. Here's to many more years of creating a warm, caring home at the heart of the Perth community. ❤️
