Team members at Bucklesham Grange welcomed their directors into the home for an afternoon of Western-themed festivities to mark 20 years since care provider Hallmark Care Homes launched.

Directors Avnish and Ram Goyal managed to visit all 15 of their homes across England and Wales in just four days.

Guests to the party were invited to dress up and play tin can alley, hoop the ring around the cactus while enjoying a barbecue.

Acting general manager Daniel Rowark said: “We have had a great afternoon celebrating with everyone, and the residents and team were all really excited to mark this special occasion.

“Everyone who attended our Western celebrations had a really good time and we are already looking forward to celebrating the next milestone.”
