Residents of St Helens Hall Care Home in St Helens enjoyed a memorable day of adventure and fun as the minibus was fired up for two exciting day trips on Wednesday. The day catered to different interests, ensuring that everyone had a fantastic experience.
In the afternoon, a group of residents made their way to the RAF Burtonwood Heritage Centre, situated on the site of Gulliver’s World. The Heritage Centre preserves the history of RAF Burtonwood and the men and women who worked there.
For Lilly Gornall, the trip held special significance as her son took pilot lessons at Burtonwood and many years ago flew her around north west England. Lilly said: “It feels like no time has passed at all since my son trained at Burtonwood to be a pilot. The Heritage Centre is a wonderful place to visit and inspire, and I’m very grateful for the staff at St Helens Hall for bringing us here.”
Another group of residents set out earlier in the day for a relaxing visit to Rivendell Garden Centre in Widnes. There, they browsed through the independent shops, enjoyed a break at the on-site restaurant, and admired the beautiful plants and gardens.
Jacky Smith, activities coordinator at St Helens Hall Care Home said: “It was a fantastic day, enjoyed by everyone. The sun was shining too, which was a bonus. It’s important that our residents stay engaged with the local community and enjoy trips and visits that bring back great memories”
