Care home staff went to work in their PJs in a bid to bring some Christmas cheer.

Teams at Dene Holm in Northfleet and Edward Moore in Gravesend were keen not to miss out on a trend which has seen many home-based workers don their pyjamas through the working day during the pandemic.

Workers threw on their PJ's on Friday and invited residents to join them in staying cosy and wearing theirs as well.

And whilst slippers, fluffy robes and eye masks were optional many took up the offer with some sporting some festive styles.

Christine Hutchinson, home manager at Dene Holm said: “Our teams have worked so hard this year and whilst we continue to manage the situation with Covid-19, we want to spread some cheer and positivity as much as we can, particularly over Christmas.

“Inviting our staff to wear their pyjamas to work was a fun idea and a way of bringing everyone together and spreading some Christmas spirit!”
