OLDER people in south Warwickshire enjoyed another holiday at home.
Age UK Coventry and Warwickshire is celebrating the success of this year’s Holiday at Home event, delivered in partnership with Wellesbourne & Walton Community Cares (WWCC).
The three‑day programme brought older residents together for activities, companionship and a holiday‑style experience close to home.
Designed for people who may be lonely or isolated, this year’s event embraced a Cotswolds‑inspired theme, offering a sense of escape, enjoyment and connection.
As part of the partnership, Age UK Coventry and Warwickshire worked alongside WWCC volunteers throughout the event, providing senior staff members to help create a welcoming, safe and engaging environment for all attendees.
Emma Arnett, director of operations at Age UK Coventry and Warwickshire, said: “The atmosphere throughout the event was warm, friendly and full of connection, and it was wonderful to see so many older people enjoying time together.
“We look forward to continuing this collaboration and supporting future community events.”
WWCC also welcomed the ongoing partnership.
Wendy Biddington, from WWCC, said: “Holiday at Home has become an important event for many older people in our community, and each year it requires a huge amount of planning and support behind the scenes. Having Age UK Coventry and Warwickshire alongside us has been a real benefit, and their involvement helps us continue delivering an experience that brings people together, creates new connections and is valued by those who attend.”
