Joyce Woods a resident at Cheshire Grange Care Home in Lymm headed out on a very special day trip to The Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Joyce has been a lifelong supporter of Warrington Wolves, her passion for the sport and her home team saw her play an active role as a volunteer with The Supporters Trust helping with fundraising for the young academy players.
During the 7 decades Joyce has followed her team she has seen many changes but remained loyal to the primrose and blue travelling the length and breadth of the country to support the lads.
When Joyce was asked by staff at Cheshire Grange, if there was anything she’d like to do, it was obvious that it was to go to a match and what better match than a local derby with rivals St Helens.
Joyce and her companions for the day, Carer Katie and Volunteer Mark had the most amazing afternoon at The HJ Stadium and the icing on the cake was a win for the home team! ,
Activities Coordinator, Jo Eland said: “We strive to help keep residents connected to their interests and hobbies, because you are living in a care home doesn’t mean you have to stop doing things that were such a big part of your life. We love seeing the joy these ‘Sunshine Moments’ bring to our residents”
