We’re a little late sharing these – but here are some lovely moments from our 2025 Christmas Party at Whitley Court 🎄

A great afternoon of music, laughter and festive cheer. The decorations may be packed away, but the smiles certainly aren’t.

#WhitleyCourt #LaterLife #Community #BCOP

Never too old for a romantic dinner ❤️

Salmon, fizz, red roses, heart chocolates & a window seat overlooking Paris! Valentine’s Day was extra special for our couples at Neville Williams House.

Love only gets better with time.
