Residents at Birchmere House Care Home were treated to an unforgettable experience when they were personally invited to The Civic Suite in Solihull for a private audience with Mayor Shahin Ashraf!
The day began with a delightful afternoon tea in The Mayor’s private chambers, an exclusive space few are fortunate enough to enter.
Shahin shared a charming and unusual fact – the cups used for the occasion have been in use since 1954, adding a touch of history to the moment.
As a special honour, residents had the privilege of signing the official visitors’ book, joining a prestigious list of dignitaries.
The experience continued with an engaging tour, which included a visit to the Council Chambers, where crucial decisions are made. And, of course, there was a fun highlight where everyone had the chance to try on The Mayor’s robes!
A huge thank you to Mayor Shahin Ashraf for making this day so memorable. It’s certainly one for the books, and we look forward to welcoming you to Birchmere House Care Home in Solihull very soon!
