Glitz And Glamour Hits Alcheringa

Speak to our residents at Alcheringa in Swan Hill and they will tell you they have never found bingo to be a drag… up until recently.

Last month our home was delighted to welcome two very special guests who brought an unprecedented level of glitz and glamour to our community: the incomparable Eliza Lot and Spencer Street from Dragged To.

The pair of Melbourne performers, who were in Swan Hill for several shows last week, were only too happy to stop by Alcheringa to meet residents and staff, before taking the reins of their weekly bingo session. Naturally, a lot of singing, dancing, laughter – and of course fabulousness – ensued. 

Chelsie Mott is Alcheringa’s Social Care Coordinator, and she says residents were “over the moon” to welcome Eliza and Spencer, who went above and beyond, in their own vibrant and vivacious way, to bring smiles and laughter to everyone across the home’s community.  

“Eliza and Spencer were both stunning, and our residents absolutely loved them and the special experience they provided,” Chelsie says. “They made sure to engage with everyone and it wasn’t long before residents were, singing, clapping, and dancing in their chairs. The residents had a blast!”  

“The smiles and laughter said it all. It was a such a wonderful morning and many of the residents have said that it was the most memorable and exciting bingo game they’ve ever been part of. It’s definitely one that we at Alcheringa will remember for a very long time!” 

The special event continued a busy Spring of fun-filled activity for Alcheringa. The home’s social care team curates a wide range of regular events and activities which inspire participation, promote inclusion, and give residents an opportunity to stay connected with each other, as well as the community, in a fun and positive way.
