There was fun for all at The Burroughs when the local community joined the residents for its annual party. 

Residents at The Burroughs and the people of West Drayton received a special visit from feathery friends and enjoyed an afternoon filled with fun for all, including a bouncy castle, tombola and family-friendly games. Residents and visitors alike were able to get up close with a variety of birds of prey, including a bald eagle, owls, and hawks. 

Guests tapped their feet to live entertainment, including an ABBA tribute band and local singer Ash Lee. 

To top off the day, everyone was treated to a barbecue, as well as tea, cakes and ice cream.  

Saad Baig, home manager at The Burroughs, said: “Hosting a summer party provides us with a great opportunity to invite the local community to join us for a day of family-friendly fun. Animals can play an important role in the lives and wellbeing of older people, especially those living with dementia, and it was great to see so many smiling faces.

“Here at The Burroughs, it is important for us to build strong relationships with local community, so it was brilliant to see so many of our neighbours come along.  We would like to say a big thank you to the people of West Drayton for making the day so special.”
