Its impressive Clubhouse opened in the summer, whilst its new restaurant was unveiled for residents and the community in October, with Head Chef, Tom Blundell, at the helm.
Head of School, Karen O’Shea, comments: “The staff and residents of Great Alne Park couldn’t have been more welcoming and the children enjoyed every minute. This sort of intergenerational engagement is priceless and contributes greatly to wellbeing and positive experiences.
“Giving the opportunity for the children to learn to bake in a working commercial kitchen with the Head Chef himself, has been an experience they will never forget. Seeing the pride in their faces when they offered their ‘bakes’ to the residents was an absolute delight.”
Acting Village Manager, Tina Digby, comments: “Our residents have led extremely interesting lives and have a diverse set of skills at their fingertips. It was a pleasure to invite the wider community into our village and share this wisdom and experience. We have an open-door policy, which demonstrates our enthusiasm to foster a real sense of unity and it was wonderful this Christmas to bring the generations together for an event that was fun, educational and a step in the right direction to tackle the loneliness epidemic, so prevalent in our older generation, particularly around Christmas time.”
