Just Bowl has newly arrived at Amber Court. The people living with us are definitely loving it, everyone wants to give a go. We will also be planning for our Just Bowl tournament this August.  

Everyone is so excited.

We celebrated World Photography Day at Allingham House by letting our creativity and imagination run free. The people living with us made beautiful and unique photo frames.

It was also the perfect time to reminisce, talk and laugh, enjoying a great time together.

We had a Hawaiian themed party at the home. The people living with us enjoyed a delicious BBQ lunch, a raffle and Roger came to entertain us all. We had so much fun and had a brilliant day overall.

At Acorn House we had our very own awards ceremony to show appreciation to all staff members within the home.The people living with us spent the previous month voting for staff members ensuring everybody got a certificate of appreciation and a small gift. Our lovely Eileen was more than happy to help present our awards with the manager. 

We also had entertainment from the wonderful singer Louis Devere, everyone had a fantastic time singing and dancing along. It was a fantastic day.

Wyndham Hall made some delicious homemade scones, which the people living with us then enjoyed later with some clotted cream and jam. It was a fun activity and they tasted great. Baking therapy at its finest. 

Entertainment and pet therapy going hand in hand. Then we finished our day with some cheese and wine. 

What a delight it was when our entertainer brought in his own pet for the people that live with us. Everyone enjoyed listening to his music, and of course stroking his dog.

The people living with us enjoyed making their own jam. We used our own home grown plums as part of the recipe. We like to do this every year as it is a fun activity - and we get our own delicious jam at the end of it!

This morning we decided to go on our Town Gardens Walk despite the weather looking as if it was going to rain. It turned out to be such a lovely walk! We even managed to listen to a band performing at the Band Stand.

Appletree Court Care Home had a their very own culture day...

Everyone living and working at Appletree Court enjoyed a variety of dishes and snacks from different cultures within their community to taste and enjoy.

The day was filled with scrumptious food and fun exploring and celebrating other cultures, it was a fantastic time for everyone who got involved!

Being based in the The Strand Community Centre, we see the amazing work that the local food bank does for the community and we as an organisation wanted to support them with a much-needed donation. We also wanted to say a specific thank you to Marie, not only for all her hard work but for her friendship to us since starting at the Strand.
