HC-One’s Jack Dormand Care Home in Horden, County Durham, has been embracing creativity and community spirit ahead of Remembrance Day, thanks to the fantastic support of local college students. Over the past few days, students have been hard at work helping to create meaningful decorations to honour those who served.
From 70 pieces of paper to cardboard and even an eight-foot MDF display, the contributions have been as impressive as they are heartfelt. Special thanks go to Dillan Harkness, the son of one of the home’s wellbeing team members, whose brilliant finishing touches and artistic talent have brought the decorations to life.
The team at Jack Dormand would like to extend a huge well done to everyone involved and looks forward to sharing more of the decorations with residents, families, and the local community soon. Jack Dormand have gifted one of the Remembrance Day decorations to their local parish councillors at their local church and one to their local veterans.
Marie Shillaw, Senior Home Manager at HC-One’s Jack Dormand Care Home said:
“We’ve been busy at Jack Dormand putting our hard work on display with our Remembrance Day decorations. It’s a small way to honour those who served, and this is just the start.
"We’re incredibly proud of everyone who has helped bring our Remembrance Day decorations to life. Seeing our residents and local students come together to create something so meaningful is truly special. It’s a small way to honour those who served, and we can’t wait to share the full display with our community."
