Mason, who signed football shirts and gave autographs, said: “Elderly people are often overlooked, and it's a privilege to spend time with them. They have incredible stories and experiences and I hope our visit brought a bit of joy to their lives."
The home’s activities coordinator, Iwona Pawelczyk, said: “A highlight of the visit was Mason’s interaction with Brian Delaney. Witnessing Brian’s unwavering passion for football clearly impressed Mason. Their heart-warming exchange was truly inspiring.”
