The activities co-ordinator at a Wellington care home arranged for an ice cream van to visit residents.

Richard Dempslake, who works at Camelot House and Lodge, arranged for Darren Harley to visit.

“Our residents were so excited to hear the music that meant the van was coming,” said Richard.

“And their faces when it pulled up outside were a picture.

“They crowded over to the lounge windows so they could see the ice cream concoctions being put together, and were absolutely delighted with Darren’s delicious freshly-made ice cream.

“They especially loved being able to choose their own toppings.

“Every single resident received an ice cream of their choice, which was a big task but it worth it for all the smiles.”
