Meet the carers, kitchen staff and maintenance workers who are giving up their Christmas Day to look after others.
When you sit down for your festive dinner, spare a thought for people like Sharon Lawrie and Molly Seddon who will be helping to look after residents at Withywood, an extra care scheme for the over 55s in Shrewbury which is operated by the Wrekin Housing Group.Sharon said: “We try to make it as exciting as possible.
“My husband is going to be at home by himself but he’s pretty happy with that – there’s a new Xbox game out!” A number of Wrekin staff will also be ensuring that residents get to enjoy their Christmas dinner on the day, including Chef Managers Ian Hobley and Jonathan May. They will be serving dinner with all the trimmings at the newly opened Queenswood - an extra care scheme in Newport.
