Celebrating your 100th birthday

We help you celebrate your 100th birthday with a special visit from our Provost. To mark the occasion, the Provost can bring flowers and a commemorative scroll.

If you already receive support from our social work team, we will help arrange the visit. About six weeks before your birthday, a member of staff will speak with you or your family about your plans and ask how you would like the day to be marked. If you would rather keep your celebrations private, we will respect your wishes.

If you are not in contact with social work services, you can still arrange a visit. You or a family member can contact the Provost’s Office directly so we can make the necessary arrangements.
