Staff at Radfield Home Care in Great Casterton gift clients afternoon tea boxes

Carers presented home-made afternoon tea boxes to their clients to mark Easter.

Staff at Radfield Home Care in Great Casterton baked scones and biscuits to go in the boxes, together with strawberry jam, clotted cream and Yorkshire tea. The boxes were given to clients during their visits over the Easter weekend.

Radfield’s activities coordinator, Gaynor Hemingway-Gibb said: “We always like to find things to celebrate with our clients and wanted to do something special this year. I was so impressed by our team of bakers, organisers and the delivery team who all really rose to the challenge.

“Aside from a fabulous afternoon tea, we also included an Easter quiz and a packet of sunflower seeds for our clients to grow.

“ The idea is to extend the celebration beyond Easter by getting our clients to compete to grow the tallest sunflower. They have embraced the concept with enthusiasm and we can’t wait to see the results.”

Care supervisor, Rose Krezwell, added: “They were such a surprise for them; the smiles on their faces were very special.”
