This #GoodNewsFriday we hear how Bernard Sunley Care Home are making sure no-one in their local community is alone this Christmas Day.
The Woking-based care home run by charity Friends of the Elderly is asking the older people of pensionable age who live in and around Woking to ‘Be Their Guests’ on Christmas Day and enjoy a free, festive experience.
Andy Cumper, Registered Manager, Bernard Sunley says:
As part of our continued commitment to keep all the residents we support and care for involved with, and part of, their local community, we are putting out a Woking-wide invitation to the older people of pensionable age who live in and around Woking, who will be spending Christmas Day on their own, to come and join us for a special Yuletide day.
We don’t want anyone to be alone this Christmas Day, and it would be wonderful if the older people in our vicinity could come along and join us for a free Christmas lunch – with all the trimmings - and a ‘holly jolly’ day.
On Thursday 25th December, the Bernard Sunley Care Team will be opening the care home’s doors and welcoming Woking’s older generation to their free traditional Christmas Day lunch, pre-lunch drinks and an afternoon full of festive fun.
From 11 a.m. until 4 p.m., they will be hosting a free, Christmas Day lunch which will be followed by Yuletide activities and a relaxing afternoon.
The in-house chef will be cooking up a full traditional Christmas lunch, including delicious deserts.
After lunch a Christmas movie will be played in the cinema room with mince pies, popcorn and a glass of sherry.
There will also be live entertainment, courtesy of singer, Smokey Joe, who will be performing a range of Christmas classics.
Older people who live in or around Woking, who will be spending Christmas Day alone but would like to join Bernard Sunley’s free lunch can call 01483 764300 before Friday 12 December 2025 to reserve a space.
