A 95-year-old lady’s dream to dance at The Blackpool Tower Ballroom was granted by the staff at her care home.

Recently, Stocks Hall Ormskirk Home residents Edna Adams, Reginald Wilson, Dolly Foreman and Betty Bennion, accompanied by Activities Staff Betty McLouighlin and Gemma Jacobs, boarded the minibus for a trip to Blackpool.

The trip was inspired from a wish list that staff have been carrying out throughout the Ormskirk Home. Edna Adams, 95 years young, loves to dance and it was her wish to go to the famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom. The group, driven there by Stocks Hall Mini Bus Driver Jimmy on Monday 19th June, had a fabulous time together.

Dining out with lunch in Blackpool was the first port of call, before the group headed to the Ballroom to have a nice refreshing drink inside before and getting stuck into some ballroom dancing.

The group enjoyed the occasion so much and, once they had tired themselves out with so much waltzing, they watched other dancers, enjoying their skills and complimenting how good they were.

Gemma said: “We were so glad to make Edna’s wish come true. Edna danced the majority of dances and even caught the attention of another dancer, who asked her to dance.

“She loved this evening so much, as did the whole of the group. Other dancers came up to us to say how good our party from Stocks Hall were.”
