A RESIDENT and football enthusiast living at an Epping care home fulfilled a dream of returning to a football stadium after a long time.
Margaret Harris, a resident at Weald Hall, was surprised with a trip to the London stadium to watch West Ham United, after expressing her dream to do so through the home’s Magic Moment scheme.
The 83-year-old has been a life-long football enthusiast and used to attend football matches with her husband.
After the game, Margaret was also introduced to actor and presenter Danny Dyer, who was happy to pose for photographs.
Margaret was accompanied to the match by home manager Danielle Barham and deputy manager Carrie Paget, who organised the visit.
Danielle said: “Making sure our residents are happy and able to do the things they love is fundamental to the care we offer.
“We were thrilled to be able to give Margaret a day she won’t forget. We can’t wait to honour more of our residents’ magic moments and create more special memories in 2024.”
The Magic Moment scheme was started by the home’s lifestyle team and aims to enrich the lives of residents with meaningful activities or one-of-a-kind events and experiences.
