As part of the coronation celebrations at Silverpoint Court Residential Care Home, we entered a Nellsar-wide competition to design and make an eye-catching coronation crown.
Heading up the competition, Nellsar’s Recreation and Well-Being Manager Viv Stead commented: “The idea was to involve our residents in making something beautiful and memorable to display in their Home or garden that could be enjoyed by everyone for the coronation.”
Look at our crown, covered in sweetie jewels! Our residents put lots of time and effort into creating it; everything is reusable and the crown can be used again for Poppy Day and the king’s birthday. The tinsel will be used again at Christmas and all the sweets that are being used for the jewels can be eaten and then replaced.
We are delighted to announce that our wonderful crown was awarded THIRD PLACE in the competition and we are thrilled to have won £100 for our residents’ fund.
The judges commented: ‘A delightful crown covered in sweets! The crown was taken around on the day of the coronation for their residents to choose a sweet. How delicious!’
Huge congratulations to everyone involved in creating it for the competition.
Check out the winning entries and all the runners up!
