It’s all in the name – local community invited to rename Crowborough care home café after major refurbishment

A care home in Crowborough is asking the community for their help to name its café as the home undergoes a renovation.

The team at Care UK’s Heather View, on Beacon Road, is calling for history enthusiasts and Crowborough natives to help name its café within the home. The hope is that the name will reflect the uniqueness of the local area. 

The home is currently being refurbished to the highest standard with work due to finish in January. The refurbishment includes new dining rooms and lounges, with a total renovation of the communal space, which will include a pub, café, cinema, hair and beauty salon.

The community is being encouraged to share their suggestions based on Crowborough’s history, local places, famous residents or another theme that will represent the community. 

The lucky winner of the café naming competition will receive a £100 prize and be invited to officially open the café and cut the ribbon. 

Natasha King, Home Manager at Heather View, said: “We are currently undergoing an exciting renovation which aims to enhance the home further, ensuring all spaces at Heather View have been designed to ensure residents are supported to live fulfilling lives. 

“We are thrilled to be inviting the community to name our brand-new café. Crowborough is rich in history and I’m sure locals have countless stories to tell, we cannot wait to hear what the community thinks the café should be named.

“The café is a hub for not only residents and team members but for the community of Crowborough so whether you think the café should be named after famous residents or local beauty spots, please send us your suggestions. We’re looking forward to showcasing our new look home very soon.”
