Shefford based home embarks on virtual world tour with residents travelling more than 30 countries

A Shefford based care home will be taking its residents to more than 30 countries from the comfort of their living room.

MHA Oak Manor has arranged a virtual world tour, where the home will travel to different countries across the world.

Residents will be travelling to a new destination every week, with places such as Spain, Mexico, India, and Australia on the list.

The home is raising funds for the tour and will be using the amount raised for any activities relevant to the country they are going to.

The purpose of the tour is to encourage residents and staff members to celebrate and educate them on the various cultures.

Passports and boarding passes are prepared for residents, with cuisine from the destination for that week on the menu.

Fay Gooch, home manager said: “Here at MHA Oak Manor we have staff members and residents from various parts of the world, and this is something we want to celebrate. 

“So far we have travelled to France and Spain and the residents have really enjoyed it.  

“The family members of residents will be coming in and sharing their stories and will also be bringing in some traditional food and cultural items.

“We set up a JustGiving page where we have received more than £1200 which will go towards the tour. 

“The residents are always looking forward to the next destination and we love seeing the huge smiles on their faces when they know the trip is on 

“It’s been a huge learning experience for all of us and allows us to embrace other cultures, which is a huge part of MHA Oak Manor.”
