Len Sapsford, a resident at Cherry Hinton Care Home, recently had the opportunity
to revisit Marshall Airport, a place where he dedicated over 68 years of his life. This
heartwarming trip was organized by the care home and provided Len with a chance
to reconnect with old memories and friends.
Len was given a special tour of the factory by Christopher Walkinshaw, an
experience that brought back many fond memories. During the visit, Len had the
pleasure of meeting several former colleagues, including one who surprised him with
an old photograph from their working days together. The reunion was filled with
nostalgia and joy, as Len reminisced about his long and dedicated career at Marshall
Airport.
Leon, one of the caregivers at Cherry Hinton Care Home, shared his experience of
the day: “It was so nice to see Len smiling when we approached the airport. Len said
to me, ‘I feel like I am back home.'”
Shelly Prakash, the Home Manager, emphasized the significance of such trips for
their residents: “It’s so important that our residents can get out and visit places where
they used to work. We know this was a very important place for Len and his family,
we are so glad we managed to get him here.”
The trip not only allowed Len to reconnect with his past but also highlighted the
dedication of Cherry Hinton Care Home to providing meaningful and enriching
experiences for their residents. This visit to Marshall Airport will undoubtedly remain
a cherished memory for Len and his family.
