Senior Citizens Lunch

On Monday, myself, Georgina (Head Girl), Georgia (Head Prefect) and Yama (Head Technician), attended the Senior Citizens lunch at St James’s Church, in Bushey. Our job was to help serve lunches, as well as washing up; a lot of it!

To be able to give back to the local community is an invaluable experience, and it was so rewarding to see all the smiles on peoples faces, as we were able to provide lunch, and hopefully good company to people who would otherwise be alone.

We are extremely lucky to have been part of this experience, and loved every minute of it, and to leave singing ‘Sweet Caroline’ with a room of over the moon over 60s, was a memory I will cherish forever. It truly embraced the spirit of Christmas, and shows how anyone can spread this spirit across the local community, and really make someones Christmas truly special this year.
