Leighton Town FC brings community spirit to local care home
Residents of a Leighton Rose care home, located in Leighton Buzzard, recently welcomed members of their local football club, Leighton Town FC, for an evening filled with conversation and community connection.
The group of visitors from the club included the Chairman, Head of Football, Manager, Club Captain and two players – all of which spent time chatting with residents and discussing their love of the game.
Residents thoroughly enjoyed the visit with many expressing their delight at the chance to meet members of their local team, and to top off a wonderful evening, the club extended an invitation for Leighton Rose residents to attend a home match once the weather improves.
Bhav Amlani, Director of Macc Care which operated 17 care homes across The Midlands, said: "Creating connections between our homes and the local community is central to what we do. Welcoming Leighton Town FC to Leighton Rose brought so much joy to our residents, many of whom are lifelong football fans. Events like these not only brighten spirits, but also help residents to feel part of the wider world, something we believe is vital for wellbeing and happiness."
Leighton Rose, part of the Macc Care Group, remains committed to creating meaningful experiences for residents by nurturing local relationships and providing opportunities for social connection both internally and in the wider community. The visit from Leighton Town FC is just one of many ways the home continues to support engagement, wellbeing and community spirit.
