On 22nd of August, the Runwood Homes group, including Sanders Senior Living, hosted an exuberant 50s Day, immersing their headquarters and homes across England in the vibrant spirit of the 1950s. The event was a delightful throwback, with staff, residents, and visitors embracing the era through period attire, classic tunes, and retro decorations.
The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as every corner was adorned with tributes to 50s icons like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and classic film posters. Residents joined in the fun, reminiscing about their younger years and sharing their cherished memories, making it a heartwarming day of connection and nostalgia.
One of the day’s highlights was the Best Dressed competition. Vanya, a Marketing Executive at Head Quarters, won first place with her stunning portrayal of Audrey Hepburn, capturing the essence of 50s fashion with flair and showcasing a fantastic example of the era’s iconic style.
In addition to the fun, the event had a meaningful impact. Through enthusiastic participation and generous donations, the Runwood Homes group raised significant funds for Asthma and Lung UK. This support is crucial for advancing research and providing aid to those affected by respiratory conditions.
The Back to the 50’s Bash was not only a joyful celebration of a cherished decade but also a testament to the power of community spirit across the groups. It beautifully blended nostalgia with purpose, leaving everyone with cherished memories.
