Bluebird Care Wiltshire North recently welcomed members of the local community to a special Afternoon Tea with IfOpera at the Wiltshire Music Centre, as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of older adults across the region.
The event, which is open to all, not just Bluebird Care customers, is designed to reduce social isolation and enhance emotional well-being by creating a warm, welcoming space for older people and their families to enjoy good company, conversation, and culture.
Guests were treated to a relaxing afternoon with tea, homemade cakes, and a beautiful live performance by IfOpera singers. The atmosphere offered a valuable opportunity for connection, particularly for those who may not often have the chance to attend social outings.
One attendee, Jennifer, shared her experience
We had a lovely time at the afternoon you put on for Mum. You provide wonderful care and entertainment for her. I can only thank you for the precious time we spend with her. Thank you.
Bluebird Care Wiltshire North recognises that emotional health is just as important as physical wellbeing. Regular social interaction has been shown to reduce the risk of loneliness, depression, and cognitive decline in older adults. Events like this form part of the organisation’s preventative approach to care and its commitment to supporting meaningful, enjoyable experiences for the people it serves.
It’s a real privilege to be able to organise events like this, it reminds us that care isn’t just about tasks and routines" said Registered Care Manager, Donna. "It’s about building relationships and helping people enjoy life, whatever their circumstances.

Bluebird Care Wiltshire North extends sincere thanks to IfOpera and the Wiltshire Music Centre for their partnership, as well as to the Registered Manager and Directors for their efforts in bringing the event to life.
The team looks forward to welcoming even more members of the local community to similar events in the future.
