Chelmunds’ Court Celebrates Cultural Day

Chelmunds Court Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, hosted a vibrant and Staff Cultural Day where the team members and residents celebrated the rich diversity within the home. Staff proudly wore their traditional clothing, shared homemade dishes from their cultural backgrounds, and showcased music, storytelling, and dance throughout the day.

The café area was decorated with flags representing the many cultures within the team, creating a colourful and welcoming atmosphere. Staff also spent time visiting residents around the home, offering them the chance to experience new customs, flavours, and cultural traditions firsthand.

Socorro, Care Team Leader, reflected on the celebration, saying:
“It was really wonderful seeing everyone together and sharing their culture, and all the different food as well.”

The event highlighted the home’s strong commitment to inclusion and community spirit, giving staff the opportunity to express pride in their heritage while residents enjoyed new experiences and meaningful interactions.

The idea for Cultural Day grew from the home’s naturally multicultural team and a shared desire to honour and appreciate the many backgrounds represented at Chelmunds Court. It encouraged understanding, sparked conversations, and created lasting moments of joy and connection.
