Virtual Christmas carols at OSJCT Edwardstow Court
Edwardstow Court in Stow-on-the-Wold, part of The Orders of St John Care Trust (OSJCT) held a virtual carols evening this week, bringing residents and their family members together.
After what has been an especially tough year for those living in care homes and their families, residents at OSJCT Edwardstow Court were delighted for family members to join them for some Christmas carols which took place via a Zoom call. It was a lovely way for family members and residents to interact and connect whilst they were unable to be in the same room all together.
Residents enjoyed mince pies and mulled wine to get into the festive spirit and raised a glass to the screen to virtually cheers with their family and friends. The carols included silent night, Hark! The herald angels sing, and of course, we wish you a Merry Christmas.
Gemma Joynes, Activities Co-ordinator said, “It very special to see residents and their families joined this online event. We are finding new ways to celebrate together over the festive period, and it was lovely to see the joy it brought to our residents”.
