Veterans social with The Muster Point

Staff and Residents at Iris Court Care Home were delighted to welcome back the local veterans group, The Muster Point, for an afternoon filled with good food, shared memories and strong community spirit.

The visit brought together residents, staff and veterans from the local community to enjoy a traditional ploughmans lunch. The afternoon provided a meaningful opportunity for residents to connect with fellow veterans, reminisce about shared experiences and celebrate the bonds formed through service.
