A volunteer has helped paint smiles on faces at a group of care homes in a bid to keep them occupied during lockdown.
Jenny Palmer, part of the Helping Whittlesey group, used donations given to the group during the pandemic to buy a range of items for the town’s Keneydon House, The Elms, Aliwal Manor and Cedar Court care homes.
“Jenny was very keen as she was heavily involved with the poppy display and keen to do something else. I said to her ‘why don’t you manage this project?’” Deborah Slator, founder of Helping Whittlesey, said.

Inspectors who arrived at a Fenland care home unannounced have said it ‘requires improvement’ in its latest findings.
Keneydon House in Whittlesey, which has received an improved rating once in the last five years, was assessed by the Care Quality Commission after an inspection was confirmed from the care home car park.
“This was to establish the personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements for our visit and to ensure we were aware of any person living at the service who may be shielding, enabling us to respond accordingly,” inspectors said.
