The event was an opportunity to meet Esther, and to view the development\u2019s beautiful Show Complex, as well as being treated to some cake and a glass of fizz in the Owners\u2019 Lounge.<\/p><p>Dame Esther Rantzen is Churchill\u2019s Brand Ambassador and has worked tirelessly to champion the needs of older people. In 2012 she founded a new charity called The Silver Line with the aim of combating loneliness in isolated older people. She has also worked closely with Churchill Retirement Living to set up The Churchill Awards, the annual celebration of the achievements of the over 65s.<\/p><blockquote><p>It was a pleasure to meet the Churchill Owners at Peel Lodge, and to see the thriving, active community that is starting to take shape there.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>said Esther.<\/p><p>Her philosophy, which exactly reflects Churchill Retirement Living\u2019s own, is that the retirement years should be anticipated in a positive way. Older people should be supported so that they can find out what\u2019s on offer for them and enjoy life to the full.&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cGrowing older is something to be celebrated,\u201d she declares.<\/p><blockquote><p>Older people have so much to offer. Many people of retirement age who are lucky enough to be able to stay as active and as involved as possible and can spend time volunteering, trying new hobbies or socialising with friends and family find it gives them a great sense of achievement and purpose.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Esther adds: \u201cI believe wholeheartedly in keeping your mind active as long as you can, by finding company that you enjoy, sharing time with people you like and doing things that you find engaging.&nbsp; Working in a team also gives you companionship, so the Owners\u2019 Lounge and the social events seem to be a great idea.\u201d<\/p><p>Peel Lodge is a collection of 30 brand new privately owned one and two bedroom retirement apartments and shared facilities, designed exclusively for the over 60s. Offering quality retirement accommodation and safe and independent living, the development is in a convenient location close to local shops and amenities.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Apartments boast spacious rooms throughout and an ideal combination of design and functionality. The fully fitted, stylish kitchens include a built in fridge and freezer, hob and an oven, which is located at an easy-reach height. All of the properties benefit from illuminated light switches for added convenience. Owners also enjoy ultimate peace of mind from a fitted camera entry system for the highest level of security and a 24 hour emergency call system.<\/p><p>With less to worry about, Owners will have more time to do the things they enjoy, including taking advantage of the host of other benefits which will be on offer including having family or friends to stay in the development\u2019s well-appointed Guest Suite, enjoying a chat with neighbours, or attending one of the many events in the Owners\u2019 Lounge and Coffee Bar.<\/p><p>To find out more about the apartments available at Peel Lodge, visit the Show Complex open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm, call 0800 458 1856&nbsp; or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.themediapeople.co.uk\/churchill2021\/contact\/\">click here.<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dame Esther Rantzen joins us for an open day in Marlow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13882,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[230],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 -
