Whittington House Gets Quizzical
4th September 2017
On Thursday 31st August, Whittington House Nursing Home in Cheltenham got all quizzical when we hosted a charity quiz night in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society for our residents, relatives, friends and team.We teamed up for various rounds and enjoyed testing our wits and knowledge with questions about history, music and general knowledge to name a few. An evening buffet of cheese, nibbles, wine and other refreshments were provided throughout the evening.The evening was a great success and it was all for a great cause! Whittington House would like to extend a special thank you to Sue, a resident’s family member for compering the quiz evening again. She had all the room singing and there was lots of laughter throughout the evening.Everyone who attended thanked the team of Whittington House for a lovely evening and praised them for doing such a great job.Dementia devastates lives.
