Resident, Jo Casesse, at Mortain Place never thought he would be able to watch a live football match again after moving into a care home. Mortain Place has a wishing tree, and Jo wished for one thing…

Thanks to a kind member of staff at Caffyns Audi in Eastbourne, Jo was able to watch Brighton and Hove Albion against Bournemouth on Sunday 24th September.

Jo was picked up from Mortain Place, by General Manager Catherine Brewster and husband Raymond on Sunday afternoon, where they made their way over to the Amex Stadium. Jo was filled with excitement and anticipation, as they drew closer and closer. Off Jo and Raymond went to find their seats and awaited kick off.
