As 2024 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a remarkable year at Broughton House. From celebrating two incredible 101st birthdays to hosting 156 gym sessions in our purpose-built gym, we’ve been busy creating moments that matter for our residents and veterans. This year, we supported over 100 residents with high-quality residential care, relaunched our Armed Forces Support Hub to better serve veterans in the Greater Manchester community, and even received the prestigious Gold Award under the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. None of this would have been possible without our dedicated team and loyal supporters. Thank you for being part of our journey—we’re excited for what 2025 will bring! ✨ ✨
