The day the zoo came to visit

Residents at Badgeworth Court were pleasantly surprised to see animals such as Guinea Pigs, Giant Insects and even a Corn Snake paid a visit.

We knew that having the mobile zoo here would be a bit of fun for all our residents, especially as some find it difficult to go on many outings in our minibus. We are always looking for new activities for the residents and today we have seen the seen the enjoyment and the therapeutic influence animals can have on people.”
