The Hipcats provided the entertainment, playing Big Band classics from the likes of George Gershwin and Glenn Miller, while residents were also treated to a celebratory glass of wine and canapés.

Among those entertained during the Founders’ Day fun was Pat. She is a guest at the successful Star & Garter Club day care service, run from the Solihull Home. She said: “It’s a stunning charity, and the Home here is lovely. I’m in no doubt that if I need to, I’d like to come here to live. It’s a fabulous place.”
