Residents from Coppice Lodge Care Home in Arnold enjoyed a delightful afternoon out in the local community after attending a special lunch and bingo event at a nearby pub. Five residents, accompanied by two members of staff, visited the Longbow Pub to take part in its popular Senior Bingo and Lunch event. The group were treated to a delicious two-course meal and also took part in a quiz and were thrilled to come away as winners. The outing was organised to help residents spend time socialising and enjoy a change of scenery.
