Residents of a Falmouth Court care home have teamed up to create a beautiful display of paper butterflies for the window of their local Sue Ryder charity shop in Falmouth.

The project, which took place in the home's activity room, was a labour of love for the residents who were thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to their community.

Falmouth Court, which provides Residential care, Respite care and specialises in support for individuals with dementia and other memory-related conditions, has a strong emphasis on promoting creativity and artistic expression. When the idea was suggested by one of the residents to create a display for the local charity shop, staff members were quick to support the project.

Working together, residents carefully crafted over 60 paper butterflies in a range of colours and sizes. Each butterfly was lovingly made with attention to detail and a sense of joy that was evident in the final product.

The butterflies are now on display in the window of the Sue Ryder charity shop, where they have become a popular attraction for passers-by. Customers and staff members alike have expressed their admiration for the display, with many noting how the colourful butterflies bring a sense of joy and happiness to their day.

"We are absolutely delighted with the display that the residents of the care home have created," said Simon Walker, Manager of the Sue Ryder charity shop. "It is so heart-warming to see the community come together in this way, and we are grateful for the efforts of everyone involved." Simon added.

The project has had a positive impact on the residents of the care home as well, providing them with a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Staff members report that residents are thrilled to see their work on display and are eager to start on their next creative project.

The paper butterfly display will be on view at the Sue Ryder charity shop for the next several weeks, and the public is encouraged to stop by and take a look. The care home and charity shop hope that the project will inspire others to get creative and make a positive impact in their own communities.

Sue Ryder has over 400 charity shops in the UK and supports people who are living with a terminal illness, a neurological condition, or who someone that's lost someone close to them.
