Banbury care home hosts Royal British Legion breakfast club

Glebefields Care Home in Drayton, Banbury, welcomed members of the Royal British Legion and nearby veterans to its Armed Forces and Veterans Monthly Breakfast Club.

General manager Benazir Shakkir said: “We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to making this morning so memorable.

“Seeing our residents connect so deeply with the veterans, and the surprise of welcoming back our old colleague Ricki, made the event truly special.

“Our kitchen team worked tirelessly to provide a wonderful meal, and we are already looking forward to hosting next month’s gathering.”

The morning began with a remembrance prayer, giving residents, staff, and guests a quiet moment to honour those who have served.

Attendees included members of the Banbury and Southam Veterans groups, and many enjoyed reconnecting with a familiar face among the visitors.

Throughout the morning, veterans and residents shared stories and built new friendships.

The care home’s hospitality team served a traditional cooked breakfast alongside a selection of cold options.

The breakfast club, held monthly at Glebefields, offers a welcoming space for ex-service personnel to enjoy companionship and connection.
