A college campus was transformed into a place of laughter and learning during an animal encounter for care home residents.
The hands-on experience took place at Oaklands College’s St Albans campus and welcomed visitors from Woodlands View Care Home in Stevenage and River Care Home in Watford.
Roxanne Lowe from Oaklands College said: "We were delighted to welcome residents from Woodlands View and River Care Home to our St Albans campus.
"Experiences like this highlight the power of community connection and the joy that animal encounters can bring."
The event delivered therapeutic benefits for residents and real-world learning for students, who guided visitors and shared knowledge about the animals in their care.
A wide variety of species were featured, including meerkats, pigs, birds and snakes.
