The celebrations were crowned by a special visit from the Mayor of Tamworth, Councillor Chris Bain, who performed the honour of cutting a magnificent birthday cake to the applause of residents, their families, staff, and members of the local community.

The event was a testament to the home’s commitment to being an integral part of the Tamworth community.

The grounds were filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter, alongside stalls offering homemade cakes, refreshments, and traditional games. The highlight for many was the dog show, which saw a wonderful array of local four-legged friends compete in categories such as ‘Waggiest Tail’ and ‘Best Trick’.

The home’s General Manager, Samukaliso Marozo, expressed her delight at the event's success: “What an incredible way to celebrate our first year. Seeing our residents, their families, and our wonderful neighbours all coming together was truly heart-warming. This past year has been about building a home that is filled with fun, respect and exceptional care. This event perfectly encapsulates the vibrant and welcoming community we have built here at Arkall Manor.”
