Holiday @ Home

Holiday @ Home is an iniative that takes place for 3 days in August for people who would not otherwise be able to get away for a holiday. Every day there is lunch served, there are a variety of enjoyable activities to take part in, and on the Wednesday there is an outing.

In 2008, Holiday @ Home took place from 5th to 7th August. During the 3 days, people took part in chair aerobics, arts and crafts, flower arranging, playing music with handbells, table tennis, board games, and listening to a variety of interesting and relevant talks. On the Wednesday they went on an outing to Colchester Castle. See below for a selection of photographs.
