Karen joined the celebrations on Friday at the official opening of Daisy Haye Court in Leek. She said:
"I was very pleased to be asked to open the Daisy Haye Extracare facility in Leek. It's a really lovely place and a great home to 88 people who can enjoy their retirement in purpose built apartments knowing that support is available onsite. It was wonderful to see people enjoying independent living with friends around them so that they can share in mealtimes and social activities literally on their doorstep. Congratulations to Your Housing Group for creating a great place to live and a very suitable celebration."
Karen helped resident Nesta Knight and Churnet View school pupil Lola Dobel-Ober unveil a fantastic carving to mark the event and presented certificates to pupils for their contribution to the Past and Present Exhibition which is in the Atrium.
