What a fantastic month we’ve had, working with our wonderful new client, Pelham House Care Home!
Like many residential care homes across the country, the last 18 months has been a challenging and traumatic time. For Pelham House Care Home, it has been particularly devastating as they lost half of their residents to COVID-19 within a few days. The home wanted to commemorate the lives of their much-loved residents and create a special memorial for their families.
They chose to plant ten roses in their memorial garden, one for each person who had died, and held a special service which families and residents attended.
Pelham felt it was important to share how the pandemic had impacted them and asked Izzy PR to help achieve local news coverage for the event.
We invited selected media outlets to the memorial and are delighted to say it was the lead story on:
BBC lunchtime news
BBC evening news
BBC website
ITV Meridian – lead story
ITV website
BBC Radio Kent also interviewed homeowner, Roger Waluube (1:01:07 – 01:01:38 and 01:26:18 – 01:31:55).
We also achieved local print and trade media coverage.
It’s been a real privilege to help raise awareness of what an amazing care home Pelham is and highlight the genuine care, respect and affection they demonstrate for their residents.
