This month, Julie Butler is joined by Louise Trant at Bramshott Grange. It’s all about doing your homework and finding the right home for your loved ones.

Louise takes Julie on a guided tour of the home, showcasing everything Bramshott Grange has to offer and what to consider when choosing a place that could become a lasting home for you or your loved ones.

Julie then returns to Bramshott Grange, where she meets four very special people. Stan and Doreen are both residents at the home, and they sit down with Toby and Heidi, who are pupils at a junior school in Liphook and whose families have connections with Bramshott Grange.

Together, they chat about school days and discover just how much things have changed since Stan and Doreen were at school themselves.
