CADBURY’S chocolate was on everyone lips at the first Reminiscence Café at a Shirley care home.
Residents, staff, family and the community came together in Fountains Care Home’s bistro to share their memories about the Bournville confectioner – this month’s chosen topic.
The group recited the story of Cadbury, the family history and its cultural impacts.
Everyone was keen to share their own memories – one resident recalled splashing in the village swimming pool, whilst another worked as a graphic designer alongside the Cadbury brand, creating their wrappers and posters.
Kirsty Burgess, customer relationship manager at Fountains Care Home says: “We had a delightful morning and learnt so much about Cadbury and about the life experiences of our Residents and visitors.”
The monthly Reminiscence Café aims to bring people together to discuss a variety topics, invoking memories, stories and the sharing of life experiences.
The next Reminiscence Cafe will be on May 29, and is open to all.
