RESIDENTS and colleagues at HC-One’s Summerville Care Home in Warrington, Cheshire, were treated to a moving and heartfelt poetry session from Barbara Brittain, 87.
Barbara shared a selection of her own handwritten poems with fellow residents and staff, which provided a moment of reflection and calm.
She spoke warmly about how she began writing poetry during a difficult time in her life when her mother was unwell.
Putting pen to paper provided her with a sense of comfort and connection. Now, her words continue to bring comfort to others.
Manager Katie Bond said: “We’re incredibly grateful to Barbara for sharing such personal and beautiful poetry pieces with us. Her poetry resonates with so many, and we’re already looking forward to hearing more.”
