James Terry Court celebrates annual cultural food festival

Following the success of last year’s event, staff at James Terry Court, in South Croydon, were eager to host their cultural food festival once again.

We feel fortunate to live and work in such a diverse city, and we’re keen to share our individual experiences, to learn and grow as a team,

says Home Manager Diane Rumsby.

Wellbeing Champions at the Home and other staff members, marked the event by bringing traditional foods from their native countries for everyone to try. There were dishes from Philippines, Portugal, India, Nigeria and England. The Home’s Catering Team made exotic fruit cocktails and a steel band with music originating from Trinidad played, while people mingled and shared stories.

Susan, a resident at the Home, appreciated the variety of fruits and dishes made by staff.

As a music lover, I was intrigued by the steel band musician; he was very good and entertaining,

adds Susan.

We love celebrating the heritage of those that live and work with us and food and music is always a great way to bring people together,

says Diane.
