Residents from HC-One’s Charters Court Care Home in East Grinstead, West Sussex, recently enjoyed a special trip to Hedgecourt Lake, thanks to an exclusive invitation from the Commodore of the Crawley Mariners Yacht Club.
The Crawley Mariners Yacht Club, located at Hedgecourt Lake, is a private sailing club dedicated to promoting sailing and a community spirit among its members. The private visit offered residents a unique opportunity to experience the beautiful lake and its tranquil surroundings. The venue, which is not typically open to the public, is just a five-minute drive from the care home, making it a perfect local escape.
Residents David Stevens, Wendy Jones, and Mary Perris were the first to visit, and they had a wonderful time relaxing and taking in the breathtaking views and local wildlife. The group enjoyed a delicious picnic and cherished the peaceful atmosphere.
Julie Harper, HC-One Charters Court Care Home’s Home Manager said:
“It's such a beautiful place to sit and relax. We are incredibly fortunate to have been invited by the Crawley Mariners Yacht Club. This kind of community partnership is invaluable for providing our residents with new and enriching experiences."
With more trips already planned, the care home team is hoping the good weather continues so that more residents can enjoy this special outing.
