When Roy Kibble (89) arrived at Local Care Home, Harrier House in Hucknall, he was asked one simple question: “What’s your wish for the year?” As part of the care home’s “Make a Wish” program, which sees over 500 residents share their hopes and dreams, Roy’s wish stood out.

Understanding how much this reunion meant to Roy, the team at Harrier House swung into action. This wasn’t just another wish; it was a mission to bring joy to someone who deserved it.
