Large numbers of people attended Dell Field Cout’s Diwali party including service users from Meadowside day centre; friends and families of loved ones residing at Dell Field Court; local parishioners from the local church, Councillor Anne Hutton and Mayor of Barnet, Tony Vourou.
Diwali is the ‘Festival of Lights’, and is celebrated by lighting lamps, and bursting crackers and fireworks. It is a festival which commemorates the victorious return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after saving his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. Ultimately a celebration of peace of the storm, light in the darkness and good over evil. Celebrated by Hindus.
Dell Field Court’s team has been working incredibly hard to bring the day together; the chefs worked tirelessly on the food in preparation for the event for two days. There was plenty of group engagements with existing residents, including dancing and singing. Mayor of Barnet Tony Vourou made a speech in front of all attendees, showing praise and gratitude for being invited to this celebration at the care home, welcoming in Diwali which is celebrated by many residents at Dell Field Court. The mayor also expressed how impressed he was with the recent refurbishment works of the care home.
Well done to everyone involved at Dell Field Court in organising this event. Special mentions to Carol Pintus, Activities Coordinator for Dell Field Court and Jayram Sauba, Registered Manager at Dell Field Court.
