Residents, members of staff and volunteers from Abbeyfield were honoured to attend the Together at Christmas Royal Carol Service at Westminster Abbey
Hosted by HRH the Princess of Wales and supported by the Royal Foundation, the event brought together and recognised those who have gone above and beyond to help others in their communities throughout the year.
Abbeyfield, a charity that manages a range of housing and care services for older people nationwide, were invited to nominate four people to attend the event, the purpose of which was to ‘thank those who have been there for others during life’s challenging times, showing empathy, love and kindness.’
Being granted places at the Abbey continues a longstanding tradition of royal support for Abbeyfield, which has enjoyed the patronage of His Majesty, King Charles, for 45 years. The King maintains a keen interest in Abbeyfield’s work and has in the past lent his name to their Royal Patron’s Awards, presented to those who have made an outstanding contribution to the organisation.
