Picture this! Ponteland community invited to celebrate 25-year- milestone

A care home in Ponteland, Northumberland is inviting the local community to toast a very special milestone.

On Tuesday 14^th February, from 2pm-5pm, the team at Care UK’s Ponteland Manor, on Thornhill Road, is hosting a special party, complete with a photography exhibition, to showcase the memories made since the home first opened its doors 25 years ago.

The home will be welcoming local mayor, Christine Greenwell, deputy mayor, Karen Overbury and local councilors, Sufi Ahmed and Nermal Segal to mark Ponteland Manor reaching the impressive milestone.

The special event will see the launch of an exhibition – featuring photographs and artwork made by residents and team members, past and present, as a tribute to the 25 years of Ponteland Manor. 

Visitors will also be treated to live music by Tanya G, who will be performing a host of residents’ favourite songs to get everyone in the party spirit. There will also be an afternoon tea, with sandwiches, cakes and scones, specially prepared by the home’s chef. 

Those visiting will also have an opportunity to take a tour around Ponteland Manor and see exactly what life is like at the home.

Paula Routledge, Home Manager at Ponteland Manor, said: “We’re thrilled to be inviting the community and all our partners to join us and celebrate this special milestone – reaching our home’s twenty fifth birthday.

“Over the last 25 years, we’ve created some very special memories together with the residents here at Ponteland Manor. We’ve welcomed some real characters to the home, built long-lasting relationships with our neighbours and hosted countless themed days – including annual summer fetes and Christmas Fayres. This time, we’re excited to share our favourite highlights with the community as we look back at all the wonderful memories we’ve made. 

“We’re looking forward to seeing everyone come together, enjoy the live entertainment and the photography exhibition and for residents to share their favourite memories of life at Ponteland Manor – it is set to be a fantastic day.”
