Staff and residents at Weystone Manor care home in Woking were delighted to welcome a special guest to the home for their monthly Businesses That Brunch event.

Will Forster, MP for Woking, visited the home to meet residents and staff to find out about life at Weystone Manor.

He enjoyed chatting to more than 20 local businesses, care professionals and charities to understand their challenges and explained he is trying to secure additional funding for adult social care to keep local providers such as Weystone Manor sustainable.

All the attendees enjoyed a delicious brunch prepared by the home’s talented chef and hospitality team.

They chatted and networked before heading into the garden for some relaxation exercises and yoga, finishing the brunch with a guided tour.
