A CARLISLE care home was joined by primary school pupils for the launch of its new 'Four Seasons Feel Good Club'.
Pennine Lodge Care Home in Harraby was visited by year four students from Pennine Way Primary School for the launch of the new club which aims to bring residents, carers, family members, and people living in the local community together.
The club will also offer a series of feel-good activities throughout the year, with an inter-generational PE class that was devised by the primary students, accompanied by a selection of healthy refreshments such as key lime pie, strawberry shortcake, and apple pie smoothies, kicking these activities off.
After the club's launch the care home’s magic moments coordinator, Katie Ritson explained its aims.
She said: “Our new Four Seasons Feel Good Club is proving to be a real hit with our residents and includes a wide range of activities to benefit the mind, body and soul.
Care home resident Bill was one of those involved in the pupil-led PE session and explained why he believes the sessions are vital.
Resident, Bill, said: "At our age it’s very important to keep active and I really enjoy sessions like this, especially with the youngsters getting involved, they certainly kept us motivated."
