Community News: Margaret House Residential Care Home Support ‘The Big Step Out’…

The Mayor joined Margaret House Care Home residents and children from Barley and Barkway Federation school last month as they completed a fantastic 75,020 steps round the home’s garden.

Great music for everyone to step out to was provided by Royston Radio and the children stayed to enjoy a picnic lunch afterwards.

Wellbeing Manager Lea-Ann Smith said “We really appreciated the support of the mayor, who I think completed nearly every lap!!  as well as Royston Radio and the children – we all had a great time together whilst raising money and awareness for a charity close to our heart.” The event was to support The Big Step Out, a national campaign to celebrate unpaid carers and the people they care for as well as raising funds for Stepping Out who provide free days out for carers – the next of which is taking place in July at Audley End.
