Lancashire care home launching ‘Spare Chair Sundays’ for older people in the community

The event, starting on May 4 and taking place at Rossendale House every Sunday at 12:30, aims to bring people together to share good food and even better company.

A resident of Rossendale House, 83-year-old Brian Beedham, said: "Before I came here, I was struggling to live on my own, but since moving in last year I feel truly cared for and loved.

"I think Spare Chair Sundays can only be a good thing – it will show others how dedicated the staff are, and how beautifully they care for everyone here. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people and form new friendships."

Karen Harrison, the Home Manager at Rossendale House, added: "Spare Chair Sunday is all about community, compassion, and connection. We want to offer a warm space where people can feel at home, enjoy a delicious meal, and connect with others.

"‘Whether you're coming for the food or the friendly conversation, there’s always a seat at the table."

Spare Chair Sundays will take place at Rossendale House care home, 63 Rossendale Avenu, Burnley, Lancashire, BB11 5HF. Booking is essential.
