Picture caption story
Following a fire at its nursing home earlier in the summer, Richmond Villages Coventry has hosted a celebratory barbecue to thank those who assisted.
The part of the nursing home worst affected by the fire has now been demolished, and re-building is well under way. 13 nursing beds are already back in full operation, with a further 12 beds scheduled to be available by the end of September.
