A care home is bringing the community together with free monthly coffee mornings.

Hickathrift House, in Marshland St James, run by Barchester Healthcare, hosts the events on the second Friday of each month at 10.30am, offering a chance for residents and neighbours to connect over tea, coffee, and homemade cakes.

The gatherings are open to all and include the opportunity to tour the care home and discuss care options.

Paula Melerski, general manager at Hickathrift House, said: "Our community coffee morning allows individuals from the local area to meet and connect with one another regularly.

"It’s a great chance to share stories, make new friends, and of course, enjoy our wonderful spread provided by our hospitality team."

Hickathrift House offers residential and dementia care for up to 54 residents, with services ranging from respite stays to long-term care.

The coffee mornings are part of the care home's ongoing efforts to build relationships within the community and offer a welcoming environment for visitors and families.

All are welcome to attend.
