The Mayor of Surrey joined residents at Care UK’s Whitebourne care home in Frimley for an end-of-year party and to present care staff with awards for their long service and dedication to the Frimley community.

On Thursday 19^th December the Mayor of Surrey Heath, Cllr Beverley Harding, met residents at the home in Burleigh Road. Home manager Ros Stevenson said: “We were delighted when Cllr Harding asked to join us. She visited all the residents and talked to relatives before presenting awards to some of our long-serving staff.”

She presented Rosaline Stevenson, Jackie Thomas, Heidi Stroude and Debbie Batchelor  with  a certificate for 10-years service along with badges and £100 Debenhams vouchers. Tracy Allfrey and Beata Trawcynska were also presented with five-year service certificates and badges.

“This was the end of a busy month for our residents: they had visited the local pub for a festive lunch, they went to see Peter Pan at the Princes Theatre, Aldershot, and, as many of them love cooking, they have been busy in the kitchen, creating a beautiful cake and tasty cookies, which they shared with our visitors.”

Pupils from the local Lakeside Primary School also visited the home to entertain the residents. Ros said: “The residents love to join in with the singing - and they love to chat with the children.

“Many of our residents have lived in the area all their lives and they like to keep involved with the local community.”
