RESIDNETS from a Worcester care home went to the racecourse for a day out.

Fernhill House, visited the racecourse in July, which was made possible through Berkley Care Group’s sponsorship of the track’s accessibility ramp.

The residents had prime seating along the final furlong, and one of the races was named in the homes honour – ‘The Berkley Care Group Handicap Hurdle’.

As race sponsored, the residents and staff were invited to the parade to pick the best-dressed horse.

Amy Leach, customer relations manager at Fernhill House, said: “This outing was something different for us as a home, but it certainly won’t be the last time.

“The feedback from our residents and those who interacted with us at the racecourse has been overwhelmingly positive.




“Given the success of this event, we are definitely looking to sponsor similar events in the future.

“We’re dedicated to creating meaningful experiences for our residents, blending luxury care with opportunities for social engagement and community involvement.


“The day at Worcester Racecourse is just one example of how committed we are to enhancing the quality of life for those in our care.”
