Care homes salutes Sir Tom

Residents and staff at Ashwood Care and Nursing Home and St John’s Care Home in Spalding have joined the charity challenge issued by the family of Captain Sir Tom Moore.

His family asked people to follow in his footsteps and come up with their own challenge based around the number 100 that they can complete over what would have been his 101st birthday weekend.

Residents and staff at Ashwood rang a handbell 100 times to show their support for Sir Captain Tom with everyone getting involved to take a turn in the activity.

Country Court chairman Abdul Kachra took his turn to ring the bell to support the cause too.

Over at St John’s Care Home, staff and residents are aiming to get 100 salutes for Sir Captain Tom with staff, residents and visitors to the care home all joining in.

“We thought this would be a fitting tribute to Sir Tom Moore” said Wellbeing Coordinator Stephanie Lamont.
