Home's appeal is all relative

Keeping it in the family, the Nightingale Hammerson Pesach appeal is being led by Jeffrey Galvan, son of Nightingale House resident Netta Galvan, 89.

Mr Galvan said that "Nightingale is a home from home for the residents. The first Pesach my mother spent in Nightingale was very different from usual. But it was also very special. As a charity, Nightingale Hammerson opens its arms to everyone in the community, regardless of how little they have or how much care they need. At Pesach, Nightingale Hammerson has traditional Seders that are truly homely.

"It means everything to the residents to still be able to live by the traditions and customs they've known all their lives. But it comes at a cost." The appeal target is £50,000.
