Lee Harrington, owner of Aylesbury Vale and North East Oxfordshire, commented: “Although our caregivers have been there to provide companionship to our clients throughout lockdown, they noticed that many were missing their normal routines; attending clubs and seeing their family and friends, and many were becoming fed-up of the limited activities they could do within their own home.
