A brand new care home for the elderly run by MHA is due to open soon on Kellaway Avenue, Horfield, Bristol.
This will provide a fantastic volunteering opportunity for students wishing to gain invaluable experience in nursing and dementia care as well as assistance in the activities programme organised by the full time social care facilitator. Full support and training will be given to those who wish to offer some of their time for this very worthwhile cause.
