MMCG put together parcels for soldiers far from home and their families at Christmas time.

Laptop donations to schools in Leeds by Maria Mallaband HQ

With the news that many children were struggling to access their online home learning during lockdown, we decided to offer our old, repurposed laptops to schools in Leeds, the home of the MMCG HQ.

On Thursday 15th April the residents joined to the celebrations of World Art Day. We remembered the birth of one of the greatest artists in history. Leonardo Da Vinci, a multidisciplinary artist that created one of the most beautiful pieces of art that we can still admire today.

The residents and the children from the nursery next door were talking about the importance of recycling. For that reason the residents decided to use tins as pots where you can put seasonal flowers, showing the children an easy way to recycle.

Our residents had a lot of fun painting eggs, Easter stands and creating beautiful Easter wreaths. We also had our Easter bunny deliver Easter Eggs to all our residents rooms. 

We had a game of skittles today. The residents used great strength and aim to knock the skittles. They soon became a little competitive and had good sportsmanship. They played for nearly an hour and really enjoyed it.

At Bowerfield House Ron and Dianne enjoyed a game of football on the table which was lots of fun and Ron was happy he won. We will have lots more fun and laughs with all our residents and bring out our competitive sides. 

We started Easter preparations early to ensure we were able to make all of our own Easter cards. It was a busy time but spurred on by tea and cake, Cynthia and Pamela did a fantastic job.

It was a beautiful Spring day to be able to enjoy the sunshine at Hope Green and it was great to chat together about things that are important to us. Some residents contributed to our spring craft of butterflies  and flowers with inspirational thoughts too.

At Riverview the amazing local community continues to support us all. Just when you're thinking that you could do with a snack and a cup of tea these fabulous gifts arrive at the front door. They went down a treat so thank you to the thoughtful person/people who sent this lovely gift.

As the recent Spring weather has been so sunny and mild the people who live and work at Brunel House have been making the most of the beautiful sheltered gardens. Louisa, one of our lovely hostess team took a stroll with Roy and John. 

Our tuck shop here at Bowerfield Court is everyone's favourite. Fully stocked with all sorts of treats from old school chocolate bars, traditional biscuits and retro sweets to crisps and fizzy drinks.

With our new digital TV's and their finest voices the residents took to singing some of their favourite tunes. It was fantastic to have so many join in and applaud each other after their renditions. 

Easter bonnet making at Cavendish Court. We had such fun and laughter amongst the residents. 

A lovely morning of puzzles, music and fun for residents and staff at Hope Green. We'll definitely be doing this activity together again soon as it was a great success.
