World Chocolate Day – Does It Get Any Better?

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Austen House care home in Lower Earley, Reading had a fantastic time celebrating World Chocolate Day on July 7, surely one of the best days of the year!

We revelled in all things sweet for World Chocolate Day with a range of chocolatey activities. Our residents enjoyed an exciting tasting experience, where they had the chance to try different chocolate bars from all over the world. Also, we took part in themed quiz, tasted our delicious treats and had a discussion about all things chocolate.

General Manager, Arturas Repkovas, said: “It wasn’t just the residents that were excited when we found out there was a World Chocolate Day, the eyes of all our staff lit up too. We all had great fun discussing our favourite types of chocolate down the years, it’s amazing how many different chocolate bars and flavours there have been!”

Janice, a resident said: “I have always loved anything to do with chocolate, I don’t think there are many people that don’t! I have eaten so much delicious chocolate today, I think this has to be one of my favourite celebrations.”
