Right at Home Solent's Ninth Birthday 

In June, we celebrated our 9th birthday in grand style by hosting our second-ever Pizza Party at the Southampton Office in Bassett. It was a garden party, beautifully organised by the directors of Right at Home Solent, a chance for CareGivers, Clients, and Office staff to socialise outside of work. Under the radiant sun, everyone gathered, savouring the delightful aroma of Kev’s homemade pizzas wafting through the air. The cheerful setting, adorned with colourful bunting and garden games, provided the perfect backdrop for the day’s festivities and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our achievements.

Swing Ninjas Provide Live Soundtrack to the Day...

The day was set to the lively soundtrack of the Swing Ninjas, an extraordinary band that transported us back in time with their captivating blend of New Orleans and Parisian swing from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. Their music added a touch of vintage charm to the festivities, creating an atmosphere of joy and nostalgia.

In true Right at Home fashion, the celebration was brimming with family fun and care. Children laughed and played giant Jenga and other garden games, while CareGivers and their Clients basked in the beautiful weather, enjoyed the enchanting music, and indulged in the delicious pizzas. It was a day where the essence of our community spirit truly shone.
