The people living with us and the staff at Ashmead have been most affected by the recent news from Ukraine and have all wished to play a part to help the refugees. After a brief discussion on the matter, it has been decided to create a donation box appeal in an effect to assist the affected people of all ages from Ukraine. The donation box is presently located in the reception area so that visitors also can make their donations if they wish.

'Random Acts of Kindness Day', no matter how big or small the gesture, all expressions of kindness were and are welcomed in our home.  Kindness increases the love hormone, energy, happiness, pleasure and serotonin. Our Wellbeing team set up a beautiful kindness board to help with the sprinkling of kindness everywhere.

We were certainly feeling the love with these absolutely beautiful cards sent by The Stourport High School & VIth Form College.  Our Wellbeing team hand delivered these wonderful messages of kindness, warmth and love throughout our home.  The loveometer was rocketing off the scale!.

Some of the people living with us here at Brunel recently enjoyed a fun day in the company of 10 year old Ophelia, the daughter of one of our team members.

They played board games, musical games, did some arts and crafts and even had time for a spot of gardening.

Ophelia had a fantastic day and is very much looking forward to returning – we look forward to seeing her again soon.

All the staff and residents came up for a birthday surprise for our very own Home Manager, Delma Dela Cruz. We made beautiful paper flowers that show her name and decorated the room with lots of balloons. We kept this as a secret to her and surprised her on her very special day. Staff, residents and relatives of our residents are all thankful for all the things she is doing to everyone and the leadership she is up for Amber Court. She deserves all the best and happiness in life. Again, Happy Birthday Delma! Have a wonderful day ahead! Love, your Amber Court Family.

February is a season of love, especially on 14th of February. We celebrated this day by having a lovely full course dinner prepared by our kitchen chef and also a nice table setup made by our staff and residents.

Also, we had Christine(resident) and Stuart (Christine’s husband) they’ve been together for 64 lovely years. This is a memorable day for them specially on their situations.
