AS THOUGHTS turn to the future, homeowners and staff at an Alresford retirement development said a huge thank you to local keyworkers.

The team at McCarthy Stone’s Wayfarer Place Retirement Living Plus made a special Easter delivery to staff at The Alresford Surgery.

Each Easter egg was delivered with handwritten cards containing personal messages of thanks on behalf of all the homeowners at Wayfarer Place.

Kirsty Pennicott, estate manager at Wayfarer Place, said: “These past few lockdown periods have certainly been challenging for all of us. We have such a fantastic community here at Wayfarer Place and we didn’t want to lose that spirit, so we have worked hard to make sure everyone has felt supported, connected, and happy throughout this difficult time.

“All the homeowners here at Wayfarer Place are really grateful to the local keyworkers, particularly for working so hard to roll-out the Covid-19 vaccination. It’s definitely put them at ease, as well as brought a huge sense of relief to the community.”

Nicki Beswarick, divisional marketing manager for McCarthy Stone Southern, added: “The keyworkers in New Alresford have gone above and beyond, and continue to do so, to ensure the local community receive their vaccinations.

“It’s really important that we find ways to connect with our community, despite the challenges we are all currently facing, so we thought it was only right to thank our local keyworkers with a special delivery to try and spread some happiness this Easter.”
