HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING AT LOCAL CARE HOME

Heavenly voices rang out at Chestnut Gardens as the community came together to celebrate Christmas with a carol concert.

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Chestnut Gardens care home, in Purley Surrey got in the Christmas spirit by inviting the community to come and join in with a carol concert to sing some festive Christmas favourites. The singing was beautifully led by the children at Laleham Lea School.

There was mulled wine, hot chocolate, roasted chestnuts and toasted marshmallows along with lots of other Christmas treats all prepared by head chef, Roshan, to get everyone feeling festive.

General Manager, Gayane Selimyan said: “We are so lucky to have such a fantastic community here at Chestnut Gardens. Singing Christmas carols is such a lovely tradition, I’m so glad we could invite our friends and neighbours to come and join in us.”

Anne, resident at Chestnut Gardens said: “I love to sing Christmas carols so it was wonderful to hear all my old favourites sung so beautifully by the choir children, there really is nothing better than a good old singalong!”
