Abercorn House Family Day – A Celebration of Community and Togetherness

On Saturday 24th August, Abercorn House opened its garden gates for a very special Family Day and what a wonderful afternoon it was! Residents, families, and staff came together to enjoy a fun-filled day full of laughter, smiles, and a true sense of community.

Highlights included a lively tombola, a hilarious human fruit slot machine, and delicious burgers and cakes lovingly prepared by the kitchen team. The event was bursting with joy, creating memories to be cherished by all who attended.

A particularly moving moment came as the families of the late Grace Harte and Chris Hannigan were recognised for their generous gift of a coffee machine for residents, staff, and visitors to enjoy. A sign now proudly reads that it was given “with love” from their families – a touching tribute that will be felt daily at Abercorn.

This Family Day was more than just an event; it was a heartwarming reminder of everything that makes Abercorn House so special – friendship, gratitude, and the joy of celebrating life together.
