Montague House Care Home residents New Year's revolutions

The group at Montague House Care Home on North Road, Brampton, were challenged to swap making their traditional New Year's resolutions and come up with 'revolutions' instead.

Marion Lomas, aged 92, said: "To work towards a more peaceful world we certainly need to be kinder to everyone as well as to the animals.”

Fellow resident Ann Fussell, aged 87, believes there is too much suffering amongst the world’s children and world leaders need to look to them first.

Whilst 90-year-old resident Vera Abbott, aged 90, also believes we need to be more caring for the children which will ultimately lead to a better future for everyone.

She added: “The world is a terrifying place for so many people right now and we can see so many children suffering, but these are the generation of the future and we need to be more concerned to protect the most vulnerable.”

However, resident Jane Newson said kindness should extend to the way we treat our planet as well, with climate change now becoming the number one concern for all of us.

Jane, aged 84, added: “We are slowly destroying our planet and we need to treat it better and be kind to the environment, because it will look after us as well as generations to come.”

According to wellbeing coach Gabrielle Butler, the discussion proved inspirational for everyone at Montague House.

Gabrielle said: "I feel lucky to work in a place where there is so much experience to learn from, and there are some sensible words here at Montague.

“Kindness is a huge theme, kindness to others, the animals and to our place.”
