Aire View’s Classic Car Enthusiasts

On Wednesday 14th July many of our homes celebrated Collector Car Appreciation Day to recognise the importance of automotive restoration and the hobby of collecting classic cars. Aire View Care Home in Leeds had a very special visit from BBC Radio Leeds and Unofficial Yorkshire Classic Cars to look at their amazing selection of collector cars, taking the residents on a trip down memory lane. With many of our residents being classic car enthusiasts, it was the perfect way to celebrate the day. A highlight was when resident Jeff recognised a car just like one he had owned many years ago, he reminisced about how he had bought one for £5, and how it used to jump out of third gear! Aire View’s Well-being and Activities Co-Ordinator, Kirsty, said, “The residents absolutely loved it. It brought back many memories and nostalgia of cars from their younger days.”
