Who says getting older is no fun?
This may be the coolest thing ever! Robert Speker, the activities coordinator at Sydmar Lodge in the UK, saw that the senior residents who live there needed some fun activities to keep them happy and entertained during the pandemic quarantine. “As this situation is on-going it could be months before the situation changes for them and the need to keep them happy entertained and full of spirit has never been more crucial,” he said on a GoFundMe page he created.
So what did he come up with? Recreating iconic album covers with the residents, and they look awesome!
Residents at Sydmar Lodge recreated album covers like Adele’s 21, Taylor Swift’s 1989, Bruce Springsteen’s Born In The U.S.A., and more!
Best of all? The money that the GoFundMe was raising was originally going funding more activities for he seniors, but Robert and the residents decided on something much more philanthropic.
“Further to the overwhelming response, I have spoken with the Residents involved with this project and we would like the funds raised to go to a charity. We have decided this will be split between dementia friends.org.uk, Alzheimer’s.org.uk and age Uk.org.uk,” Robert added on the GoFundMe’s description.
