A heart-warming series of events drew a Norfolk community closer for a care home's open week.

Meadow House in Swaffham hosted the vibrant celebration which saw residents, their families, and staff bond over garden parties.

There were also visits from the town's deputy mayor, Lindsey Beech, and mayor, Paul Darby.

The gathering was part of a wider initiative to offer the public a closer look at the workings of the care home environment.

The guests and town dignitaries brought an air of festivities and a community spirit.

Home manager, Joanna Jankowska, said: "It was wonderful to see our residents, their families, and our team come together to celebrate and enjoy the activities.

"The garden parties were a particular favourite, and having Paul Darby and Lindsey Beech join us made them even more special."

Meadow House extended its thanks to all involved and promised to hold more community experiences.
