Residents from Lidder Care’s Newgate Lodge Care Home and Lowmoor Nursing Home were given a matchday experience at two Mansfield Town fixtures.

Accompanied by carers, residents Ken Hayden and Raymond Bradshaw, from Newgate Lodge in Mansfield, went to the fixture against Reading.

Meanwhile, Lowmoor Nursing Home resident John Cantrell went with his family and the home’s deputy manager, Maggie, to the Stags’ final home fixture of the season, a 3-0 win over Exeter.

Laura Quince, manager at Newgate Lodge, said: “It’s so important for us to provide tailored activities and events that reflect our residents’ interests.

“By supporting our residents to maintain their independence and continue doing the things they love, we help enrich their lives.

Lidder Care is hosting a raffle to win a signed, framed Mansfield Town match ball from the fixture against Rotherham United on 21st December. All proceeds will support fundraising efforts to provide specialist dementia tables for residents at Lowmoor and Newgate Lodge.

Lidder Care, a family-run care provider, also run a home care service supporting individuals in their own home.
