Caty Oates, project director for Warwickshire at Kissing It Better, said: "We’ve worked on some wonderful projects with Priors House over the past two years and our volunteers always love hearing stories from residents and learning all about what life was like when they were young.

"We’re excited to continue building on this relationship in the future – on behalf of everyone at Kissing It Better, I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone at Priors House.”
