Sarah came up with the winning name, ‘Cuttlebrook Hall’, by taking inspiration from an award-winning nature reserve in Thame.

She said: “I’m delighted to have inspired the name of the new Care UK home. The Cuttlebrook Nature Reserve is a true Thame landmark and is one of my favourite places to visit in the town.

“The area is very popular with local residents and something that the people of Thame are very proud of, so it’s great to see it incorporated into the home’s new name.”

As a reward for coming up with the winning name, Care UK has donated £250 to Sarah.
