A group of us started to visit Jewish Care’s Princess Alexandra home in Stanmore. Each week we visit the residents to play games but mostly we just go for the chat. It is fascinating hearing about their lives; they have lived through so much. It really makes me appreciate my life and wanting to make the most of it.

I am always surprised by how much the residents enjoy our visits; they thank us over and over again. I don’t think they realise that we enjoy visiting them just as much. I know that my visits really make a difference; each week I know I have done a good thing.
