In the spirit of spreading festive cheer, homeowners at a Virginia Water Retirement Living Plus development have been treated to a special performance by a local school choir.

Children from St Ann’s Heath Schoolsang a selection of traditional carols and festive favourites for homeowners and visitors at McCarthy Stone’s Augustus House, as they tucked into mince pies and festive fizz.

Sam Burley,Divisional Sales and Marketing Director at McCarthy Stone, commented: “Fostering links with the communities close to our developments is a key focus at McCarthy Stone, especially at Christmas time when people are encouraged to spend time together.

“Our homeowners and guests thoroughly enjoyed the performance by the St Ann’s Heath Schoolchoir – as did the McCarthy Stone team at Augustus House. It’s safe to say we’re all feeling in the festive spirit now!”

Laura Allen, Deputy Safeguarding Lead at St Ann’s Heath Schooladded: “The children worked incredibly hard ahead of their big performance at Augustus House and we’re delighted to see that it paid off. Given the fantastic reception, it seems the audience enjoyed listening to the children’s carol singing as much as the children enjoyed doing it. Hopefully, it’s something we can repeat next year.”
