Five fantastic photos as Merville house residents get into Christmas spirit

As the aroma of Christmas pudding filled the air, so did the laughter and camaraderie of the Merville Garden Village community.

Patrick Thompson, Chief Executive of Abbeyfield and Wesley Housing Association said: “At Merville, Stir-Up Sunday isn’t just about mixing ingredients; it’s about mixing a whole lot of festive cheer.

"Our residents, armed with mixing bowls and holiday spirit, revive the age-old custom, adding a local twist. It's not just Christmas pudding in the making; it's the sound of laughter and camaraderie filling the space here.

"At Abbeyfield and Wesley, we're not just creating sheltered housing; we're crafting vibrant communities, where traditions like Stir-Up Sunday bring a dose of timeless joy and a lot of good vibes.”
