PENSIONERS came together to plant a tree in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Residents at Churchill Retirement Living’s Allingham Lodge in Eastbourne gathered for the planting as part of the Queen’s green canopy initiative ahead of her Platinum Jubilee in June, marking 70 years on the throne.
The initiative encourages tree planting to create a legacy that will benefit future generations.
Anne Scherrer, senior regional marketing manager for Churchill Retirement Living, said: “It was great to welcome everyone to this special event to kick off this year’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations at Allingham Lodge, and we’d like to say a big thank you to those who took part.
“There are plenty more events happening soon at the lodge to mark the Queen’s Jubilee year, and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy a patriotic celebration and experience the lifestyle, friendship and sense of community on offer here.”
Churchill Retirement Living will be planting 40 trees at its retirement developments across the country over the spring.
Allingham Lodge is a collection of one and two bedroom retirement apartments designed with the over 60s in mind. The privately owned accommodation comes with the benefits of a communal owners’ lounge, a guest suite, a lodge manager, and a 24-hour emergency call alarm service.
