Care homes reach for stars to remember lost loved ones

STAFF and residents at Borough Care’s homes for older people in Stockport have participated in the Stars in Memory campaign, by creating and decorating stars to remember those lives lost during the coronavirus (Covid 19) pandemic.

The coronavirus pandemic has produced widespread personal loss and tragedy to people throughout the UK, with the care sector often at the centre of this.

Organisations across the care sector have joined together to produce stars, to mark the loss that has been felt during the pandemic and to show those who have lost loved ones they are being thought about.

Residents and staff at Borough Care’s homes spent time together designing their stars, which are displayed in the homes’ windows.
