CAROL singing Beavers have been making the most of the festive season by singing to elderly care home residents in Runcorn.

The group from 1st Weston Village Scout Group visited Simonsfield care home in Boston Avenue to perform classic carols and share mince pies with the residents.

The children also shared their excitement for Christmas and taught the residents different activities they do in the Beavers group.

Resident, Audrey Leach, a former Scout leader, said: “I was delighted to meet the young Beavers and talk to them about my days as a Scout leader.”

Debbie Smith, home manager at Simonsfield care home, said: “It was so kind of the 1st Weston Village Scout Group Beavers to visit our residents this festive season.

“They sang carols beautifully and everyone thoroughly enjoyed chatting to them afterwards while tucking into mince pies.

“They really brought the festive cheer to the home and now everyone is so excited about Christmas.”
