A Chipping Norton care home has welcomed professionals and blue light card holders for a monthly breakfast meeting.
Southerndown Care Home extended invitations to local workers from various care and health organisations, allowing them to meet and network over a choice of Full English or continental breakfast.
The breakfasts at the home were launched in June and are set to take place every month.

A blue light card gives people in the NHS, emergency services, social care sector and armed forces discounts online and in-store.
It can be used across thousands of restaurants, shops and venues.
Guests also had the opportunity to tour the facility and ask questions regarding care.

"It’s a great chance to share experiences of working within the care sector, make new contacts within the community, and of course, enjoy our wonderful spread provided by our hospitality team."
