🎬 DAY FOURTEEN: It was an absolute pleasure to visit Wixams Retirement Village and meet the lovely Ray to talk about the wonderful community feel at the village.
From my Bedfordshire Day tour so far I have seen there is so much going on across Mid Beds for older people as well as younger people and it's fantastic to be out meeting so many different people.
Watch the video to learn more about why Ray loves the retirement village so much!

Research shows that retirement communities support healthier, more active and more secure lifestyles while reducing loneliness and isolation.
