THE DAY THE ZOO CAME TO TANDRIDGE HEIGHTS

Tandridge Heights care home, in Oxted, was full of animal mischief on Friday when the mobile zoo came to visit the home.

Residents at Tandridge Heights were pleasantly surprised to see animals such as owls, snakes, toads and the cutest hedgehog roaming around the lounge as Connie from wild about Britain paid a visit.

General Manager Camille said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their unusual visitors today. We knew that having the mobile zoo here would be a bit of fun for all our residents, especially as some find it difficult to go on many outings in our minibus. We are always looking for new activities for the residents and today we have seen the seen the enjoyment and the therapeutic influence animals can have on people.”

Resident Ron was very excited and touched by Wild About Britain’s animals: “As a child I used to love all the animals on the nearby farm. Today was very enjoyable and it was wonderful that the animals were free to roam amongst us.”
