Four residents from the Sunnyside Lodge Old Age Home in Plumstead joined the Heatherton House pupils for a special Valentine's Day tea on Friday February 14. Heatherton House is a cottage school for neurodiverse teenagers with special educational needs. The teens sent out the invitations, shopped for what was needed, baked and prepared everything that the senior citizens enjoyed. After serving the residents, they all played Valentine's bingo together.
