Fisher Care homes proudly honoured VE Day, a deeply meaningful occasion for many of our residents who remember the end of World War II and the celebrations that followed. This year’s commemorations across our homes were filled with reflection, and community spirit, making it a truly memorable day for all involved.
At Whitby Court Care Home, residents enjoyed a beautifully themed Afternoon Tea in honour of VE Day, featuring delicious savoury treats and an array of stunning cakes. The atmosphere was warm and nostalgic as residents watched archival footage of VE Day celebrations across the UK, sparking stories, smiles, and shared memories. A highlight of the day was the handcrafted window display, which featured personal accounts and written stories from residents recalling where they were and how they felt on that historic day in 1945. The afternoon ended in true wartime spirit — with a singalong and plenty of laughter.
At Bridge House Care Home, the celebrations were equally vibrant. Residents were treated to live entertainment from their much-loved performer Tony, who brought energy and smiles with wartime classics and singalong favourites. A buffet of delicious food added to the festivities, as residents danced, sang, and shared in the joyful atmosphere.
Across both homes, VE Day was marked not just as a moment in history, but as a living connection to our residents’ own pasts, celebrated by all.
