Resident Sandra M shared her delight, saying: “It was so nice feeding the alpacas, I have fallen in love with them!”

Following the farm visit, residents and staff headed to Ye Olde Chippy, where they enjoyed a classic fish-and-chip meal together, rounding off the day with a much-loved seaside tradition.

Days like these play an important role in supporting wellbeing, encouraging social interaction, and providing meaningful experiences.
