Happy Ending!
Great News! – Following our plea on last week’s newsletter we have found the family who helped the elderly gentleman who fell from his mobility scooter. Although the accident happened at Wickersley, it was one of our lovely families who helped and took the gentleman home. We arranged for them to meet up again this week so he could pass on his grateful thanks.
