Hide AdAs part of the college’s community programme, it hosted its second annual ‘Love Lunch’ for residents of local care homes on Sunday (February 12). Minibuses brought 53 residents, carers and drivers from six Shaw care homes.
They were welcomed by the girls from Mansion and Heden Court houses and Yolanda Gumpo played the keyboard, sang and even encouraged one of the residents to sing a song he had composed himself.
Every week students visit residents in Shaw’s Petworth and Pulborough homes and during Seaford’s annual community ‘Big Day Out’ students take groups of residents out to restaurants.
