Staff Members From Astrazeneca Spend Time At Altrincham Home As Part Of Giving Back To Community

Staff members from AstraZeneca spent some quality time with residents at an Altrincham home.

MHA Handsworth welcomed 16 members of staff from AstraZeneca who spent a day at the home.

The team spent time playing various games with residents as well as making some hanging baskets.

The day was arranged with the help and guidance of Employee Volunteering CIC, a not-for-profit organisation which creates employee volunteering programmes.

MHA Handsworth provides residential care for 43 residents.

Charlotte Fowke, activities coordinator for the home said:
“The residents had a great time with the team from AstraZeneca.

“Having the opportunity to speak with different people is something they don’t get to experience too often so it was a nice experience for them.

“The visitors were great, they really got involved and spent plenty of time sitting and talking to residents.

“We were told by the visitors as they are all from different parts of the country it was nice for them to get together.

“The residents really enjoyed the activities, especially playing bingo with the visitors.

“We received some lovely feedback from our residents which we shared with our visitors.

“This is something we would definitely like to do again at MHA Handsworth.”
