A HOUSE BUILDER has been busy raising spirits at Murdoch House.

David Wilson Homes Southern recently sent a care package to residents at the Wokingham care home in a bid to create a sense of togetherness.

The hamper gifted a mix of essential items and entertainment, including biscuits, jigsaw puzzles and greetings cards.

James Morl, the care home’s manager, said: “A sense of community is so important to our residents, now more than ever.

“It was lovely to be able to go round to the residents and give them all individual gifts from the wonderful care package provided for them and let them know the community are thinking of them.”

Paul Crispin, managing director at David Wilson Homes Southern, added: “While we continue to ensure these challenging times, we wanted to show our support for key workers and the residents of care homes within our local communities.
