A NURSING home in Tottington is remembering the fallen with a 'Tommy' statue.

Abbeywood Residential Home bought a Tommy Silhouette as part of the Remembered campaign which is being run by charity There But Not There.

The charity has created a number of metal silhouettes to be placed around the country to remind people of those who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War One.

Groups interested in supporting the campaign can purchase their own Tommy in perspex or metal from the charity.

Abbeywood has done just that, purchasing a sitting silhouette for their memorial garden.

Stacey Johnson, deputy manager, said: "We look after people who were in the war or whose families were.

"Their era is wartime and they're all affected by it.

"It's important to us that isn't lost as time goes on."

At the moment Tommy is sat in the home's entrance.

Miss Johnson said: "We want everyone to see him and ask about him and once everyone has seen him and the weather gets better we're going to place him in the garden."

The home is also celebrating its most recent CQC report which rated it good in all areas including safety, care and leadership.
