Care home residents are now set to benefit from a partnership with a college's beauty therapy students.

It said the collaboration is intended to enhance the quality of life for the residents by "incorporating innovative and creative approaches to their care".
In a statement The Maples said: "Beautify therapy has been proven to have a positive impact on mental and emotional well-being. By engaging in various therapies and creative activities, residents can experience a sense of accomplishment, improved self-esteem, and a boost in overall happiness.
