Two pupils from a Telford primary school have won a competition to name and brand their local care home.

Marcy Hodgson from Lawley Village Primary Academy won £50 for coming up with the name Telford Hall Care Home. Zoe Witkowska, from the same school, also won £50 for her logo design featuring two hot air balloons.

Both girls have been invited to the Sandstone Care Group home next month to cut the official opening ribbon.

Zoe said: “My design was inspired by the town’s amazing hot air balloon festival and it’s great to see it now up on the outside of the building.”

Marcy said: “We walk past the care home every day as it’s just across the road from our school. As a school, we often pop in to chat to the residents and get involved with activities.”

Telford Hall Care Home was acquired by the Sandstone Care Group in 2022 and Fiona Brewin became its first registered manager last month. She said: “We had lots of lovely entries for our competition from staff and residents, Brownies and Lawley Village Primary Academy.

“Zoe and Marcy’s entries were fantastic and we’re really pleased they can cut the official ribbon next month. We’re also going to be using some of the other name suggestions in public rooms around the care home.”
