Three disabled islanders seek help decorating their wheelchairs for Battle of Flowers

Stan from Jersey Cheshire Home and some Battle of Flowers favourites

Three residents at Jersey Cheshire Home are looking for volunteers to help them decorate their wheelchairs.

Stan, Irene and Dina are planning on joining the Battle of Flowers parade and Moonlight Walk, and are hoping to get some assistance from islanders to kit out their wheels.

The trio are also looking for costumes or outfits that may fit their theme - 'Party Time at Jersey Cheshire Home'.

75-year-old Stan Baudains tells us what it would mean for him to be able to take part:

"I'm really excited, pleased to take part. It is something we need to desperately keep alive.

"It's a very anticipated annual event and it brings young and old people together, helping people like myself and it's very much a community-based thing.

"It would be wonderful, anybody who'd like to get involved it would be great, giving me the opportunity to meet new people.

"It would also be great to get more people involved in the home."

Islanders looking to get involved are encouraged to contact Jersey Cheshire Home directly.
