Why Carechella Is So Important

Sarah Peach - care home manager at Portsdown View - has said that "Carechella was born out of our desire to create intergenerational connections and showcase the vibrant spirit of older adults, all whilst offering a free, fun day out for the local Havant community.”

Sarah has also said that Portsdown View is “beyond excited to welcome locals to our home for this exciting new and free event.”

We’ve teamed up with Portsdown View to create this event. The ultimate goal is to create lasting connections within the Havant community, while also debunking age-related stereotypes and proving that older adults can still have plenty of fun.
