What happens when a passion for dance becomes part of your day job?

For Bob, a Care Assistant at Anchor - St Edith's Court, it means bringing music, movement and plenty of encouragement to regular Zest sessions with residents.

Bob has been delivering Zest at the care home since completing his training, and says it’s his favourite part of the job.

“It’s my favourite part of the job. We all feel good after it.”

It’s lovely to see Bob using something he’s passionate about to help residents stay active, have fun and enjoy time together. 💜 Zest Wellbeing

Sylvia is taking no chances here... one wrong move and the whole tower comes tumbling down! 😄🧱 With nerves of steel and a steady hand, Sylvia is showing everyone exactly how Jenga is done. We can't confirm whether it's skill or luck, but we're very impressed either way! 😉💜
