Heavenly voices rang out at Austen House as the community came together to celebrate Christmas with a carol concert.
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Austen House care home, in Lower Earley got into the Christmas spirit by inviting the community to come and join in with a carol concert to sing some festive Christmas favourites.
The singing was led by the Salvation Army.
There was mulled wine, mince pies, along with lots of other Christmas treats to get everyone feeling festive.
Operations manager Joleen Leung said: “We are so lucky to have such a fantastic community here at Austen House.
“Singing Christmas carols is such a lovely tradition, and I’m so glad we could invite our friends and neighbours to come and join us.”
Valerie, a resident at Austen House and who was a member of The Salvation Army band for many years, said: “I love to sing Christmas carols so it was wonderful to hear all my old favourites sung so beautifully by my friends from the Salvation Army, there really is nothing better than a good old sing-along.”
