🌟 Good News Friday – Even If It’s Not Friday Yet…

Ok, it’s not Friday today… but we’re already gathering stories for our next Good News Friday feature, and we’d love to include something from your service.

This week we're sharing a lovely video from Forbury Care Home, where a resident knits dolls to keep her hands and mind active — a brilliant example of the meaningful moments happening in care every day.

What’s happening in your care home or service? A special talent, a proud achievement, or a moment that simply made you smile — send it our way.

Please email your stories to events@wmca.care .

What recent moment in your service would make a great Good News Friday highlight?
