Eileen Fry – St Oswald’s Village
I’ve written a series of books over 30 years mainly featuring Gloucester as I’ve had a lifelong interest in its history...I have had my own health problems lately, my eyes have been struggling, throughout this the village has helped me to continue my passion with people here even typing my books up for me. They’ve been amazing.

Margaret – St Oswald’s Village
At this stage, you don’t expect things to get better—you prepare for the decline. But it feels like someone has turned the sunshine back on for me. It’s absolutely amazing.

Ricky – St Oswalds
I arrived at my home in St Oswald’s Village in Gloucester, a shadow of a man...Over the next two and a half years through the care, attention and genuine support given to me by ExtraCare I was turned from a shell of a man into the example I am today. Moving into St Oswald’s has transformed my life.

Pearl Broadbridge, St Oswald’s Village
Pearl, a widow in her seventies, moved into her apartment at the Village in 2010. A former theatre nurse, she naturally wanted to help other people and regularly called other residents to check on them and make sure they came down to the café for lunch. "Pearl looked after everybody else," said Tracey Moore, Head of Care at St Oswald’s.
