Coppice Lodge Care Home in Arnold, Nottingham, part of HC-One, hosted its inaugural Talkin Tables session on 2nd October, welcoming residents, community members, and special guests to a warm and friendly gathering aimed at tackling loneliness and bringing people together.
The event was attended by Michael Payne MP, Member of Parliament for Gedling, and the Mayor of Arnold, Councillor Kyle Robinson-Payne for Gedling Borough Council, alongside residents of Coppice Lodge, local ladies from the Arnold community, and special visitors from Meow & Furever, the local cat rescue charity.
Guests were treated to a delightful selection of cakes, sandwiches, and tea, served in the home’s Tea Room on vintage-style crockery, creating a charming and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone who attended also received a HC-One gift bag as a token of the occasion.
