Marianne Edgerton, mother of Australian actor Joel Edgerton, is a volunteer at Christadelphian Aged Care’s Ashburn House in Gladesville, Sydney.

She has led the creation of a calendar with scenes from their favourite movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Rocky starring residents from Christadelphian’s homes and villages in NSW and QLD.

“I saw it in America and I thought wow, that is amazing, we’ve got to do that with our residents. It would be so much fun for everyone,” she said.

Each home and village chose their own movie, usually one with a special meaning for the residents.

“Casa Mia in Padstow chose Rocky because one of their residents Jack was actually a boxer so that made it really personal,” Christadelphian’s Leisure and Lifestyle Coordinator Tara Plaisance said.
