Special deliver-tea – Leatherhead care home treats the local community

A care home in Leatherhead has been gifting local people with tasty special deliveries. 

The team at Care UK's Milner House, on Ermyn Way, has been creating afternoon tea parcels for those in the community who need a treat the most. 

 

Local people were encouraged to nominate neighbours, family and friends who either deserved a special treat after the challenges of the last year or had earned a reward for their efforts supporting the community. The head chef at Milner House created the parcels which contained everything needed for a classic British afternoon tea, including finger sandwiches, scones, cupcakes all homemade by the head chef.  

With plenty of entries, residents were set the task of choosing those who were most deserving of the special treat. After much deliberation, 6 winners were chosen by residents and their afternoon team parcels delivered.  

Jeannine, a resident at Milner House and head judge for the initiative, said: “It was wonderful to read all the great things people had done to support others during the lockdown.” 

Michele Belch, Home Manager at Milner House, said: “The afternoon tea treats provided us with an excellent opportunity to say thank you to members of our community who have gone above and beyond despite the challenges of the last year. It has been great to put a smile on our neighbours’ faces. 

“We would like to thank everyone for nominating their deserving neighbours – and hope our winners enjoyed their sweet treats.”
