What an incredible week we’ve had at Orchardhead House Residential Home.
We were lucky enough to cycle across the Forth Road Bridge with the amazing volunteers from Cycling Without Age. Along the way, we met truly wonderful people who give their time so generously to create and share such special moments with older members of our community.
Residents of all ages took part — including one remarkable lady who is 101 years old. Here are just a few of the lovely comments from the day:
“After being very poorly, it was wonderful to do this today with my best friend. It has given me a reason to keep going and a new zest for life.”
“I never thought at 101 years old I would be cycling across the Forth Road Bridge. What a wonderful experience — I loved every minute of it.”
“It made me feel young again.”
We truly cannot thank the volunteers enough for their kindness, humour, and generosity. What you do is absolutely marvellous, and these moments will stay with us all for a very long time.
What humbling comments from one of the passengers..
