Residents, families, and team members at HC-One’s Mossdale Residence Care Home in Burnholme, York, were delighted to welcome back The Blue Light Theatre Company for another uplifting performance of their Magical Moments show.
The Blue Light Theatre Company, formed during the Covid-19 pandemic, is a group made up of blue light and key workers who generously give their time to perform for free at care homes and community groups. Their dedication and spirit continue to bring joy and entertainment to many, and the Mossdale community was thrilled to once again experience their talent.
Hosted by Wellbeing Coordinator, Pauline Hagen, the afternoon was filled with smiles, laughter, and music. Residents and their families enjoyed the show immensely, with refreshments and delicious cakes adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
