Brook View Marks 30 Years of Care with Community Garden Party

Brook View care home in West Moors has celebrated three decades at the heart of the community with a summer garden party full of music, laughter, and connection.

To mark 30 years since the home first opened its doors in 1995, residents, families, friends, and members of the wider West Moors community came together for a lively celebration in the garden. The event featured a barbecue, live music, face painting for children, a sweet stall, and of course, plenty of cake.

More than 80 guests attended, including West Moors Town Council Chair Councillor Rita Burke, who praised the sense of community and the generous atmosphere. In total, the day raised over £730 for Brook View’s chosen charity for the year, Gulliver’s Farm, a local organisation that supports adults with additional needs.

Residents Pam and Trevor Clark described the event as “a lovely afternoon,” while fellow resident Pat Upshall added, “It was a fantastic day. Everyone was so helpful, great teamwork.”

Home Manager Abhishek Bagchi said: “We’re incredibly proud of our 30-year history here in West Moors. Celebrations like this are a reminder of how connected we are to our local community, and how much joy that brings to our residents and team.”

Brook View continues to host seasonal events in its gardens to raise funds for local causes, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to life beyond the care.
