Brrrr, who's cold? ❄️ Let's think back to the warmth of summer and the gentlemen's fishing trips we arranged through our @MakingPals project. Reuniting care home residents with their love of fishing had to be one of our highlights of the year!

So many new friendships have developed between Bishopsmead Lodge & @Young_Bristol through our @MakingPals project. It really does show the fun people of all ages can have together, & why it's so important that we break down #intergenerational barriers. Here's a few zoo trip snaps
