Residents at HC-One’s Orchard Mews Care Home in Benwell, Newcastle, were treated to an uplifting morning of music, laughter, and community spirit thanks to a heartfelt visit from members of Newcastle Apostolic Church.
Led by Pastor Paul, the church group arrived at Orchard Mews with instruments in hand and a shared mission: to bring comfort and joy not only to their own congregation but also to those in the wider community who may feel isolated.
As the group entered the care home’s living room, residents looked on with curiosity before being warmly greeted by Pastor Paul. With a smile, he called out, “Good morning, everyone! We’re here to share some joy and love with you today!”
The church group went on to perform a series of lively gospel songs, filling the room with harmony, rhythm, and positivity. Residents clapped along, smiled, and joined in with the music, creating a truly heart-warming atmosphere.
Gillian Reid, Wellbeing Coordinator at HC-One’s Orchard Mews Care Home said:
