Resident at Verwood House Care Home have been having a ball dressing up in front of a glitzy mirror booth - and showing off their unique style.

The residents used a special mirror for the day and tried on a range of wacky outfits, from crazy glasses to flamboyant hats.

The event was part of the recent National Inclusion Week, which is dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to create inclusive workspaces.

Resident Margaret Pearson, aged 90, said: “We’ve had a blast - we have all laughed so much trying everything on, it’s all been very silly!”

Fellow resident Margaret Williams, aged 93, said: “It’s important not to take yourself too seriously, so this was all just a bit of fun, it brought out the artistic side of us all!”

During the week, the Verwood team, alongside residents, took part in a range of activities, including dance sessions and an international food day.

Verwood Wellbeing and Lifestyle Coach Emilia Turner said: “Through the fancy mirror booth, we were able to capture photos of our wonderful team and residents.

“We are like family here at Verwood House.”
