We had the 1st draw for our 2021 monthly £50 donation to #charity & resident's picked #TheLittleRescue' out of the hat, a charity that helps re-home dogs and cats. It was very apt as lots of the staff are dog owners and pets are very important to us.😀

As part of our #50th anniversary celebrations, each month we are looking back at something that happened in 1971. In February it was the introduction of decimal currency, so we had fun trying to remember how much things cost 'in new money' back then!
