Residents and colleagues at Canterbury House enjoy festivities this December

Canterbury House in Faversham kicked off their festive celebrations with their spectacular Christmas lights switch-on. The annual tradition is a much-loved moment in the lead-up to Christmas, bringing joy to residents and the local community.

Residents have also been busy creating their own decorations to hang on the care home’s Christmas tree.

Festive cheer has filled Canterbury House this December, with a lively programme of daily activities bringing joy to residents. From crafting Christmas hats to designing personalised stockings, creativity has been in full swing. Even with the cold weather, everyone has stayed warm and active - enjoying walks around the estate and getting competitive with a spirited game of snowball toss.
