On Saturday 20th August 2022 Parkview House held a Coffee Afternoon in aid of MacMillan Cancer support.

We had a really good turnout from the families and friends of the people living with us and were entertained by singer Cheryl King. Outside garden games for all ages and abilities, along with refreshments made for a fantastic afternoon.

We raised a total of £180.81 for the charity and thank everyone for their kind donations.

Our summer BBQ was a lovely event. It was such a pleasure to welcome back family and friends to share this with us and see lots of smiles all around.

John celebrated his 90th birthday today.

Family joined in the fun sharing cake ,cards and best wishes.

A lovely day for John and his family.

Cream teas were served from our very own bakery at the new Hope Green Cafe and residents absolutely loved spending time there with their relatives. Alongside the traditional teas and coffees, sparkling lemon and mint drinks were popular as the temperatures soared and the sun shone. Making this a very special occasion, Chloe the manager cut the red ribbon with one of our residents and officially declared the cafe 'open'!

Memory spinners with Scottish opera in St. Columbus church Glasgow, after 8 weeks of training the show was ready for the performance in front of family and friends. What a show it was .. everything looked amazing and all came together to a standing ovation. Congratulations to all our amazing actors and actress.

We held our summer fayre in July at Rose Lodge Care Home and enjoyed setting up all of the stalls including a bottle bag stall where you could win a bottle of wine or water, tombola stall cake stall and hook a duck and some amazing raffle prizes which were donated to the home.  Our residents loved seeing all of their family and friends and some new visitors who came along to the fayre.

We not only get to the know the people that live at Corinthian House but also the families and friends. We have just received this card and gift from one such grateful family and it is so appreciated that the care and support that the team deliver each day gets recognised in the toughest of times – including the heat today.

Thank you so much we really are touched by your thoughtful words in the card and gift.

We thoroughly enjoyed meeting with KEMP Hospice and are so delighted to be sponsoring their forthcoming ‘Butterfly Release’ event to be held at Bodenham Arboretum. This will be taking place on Saturday 10th September.

This very special day will see our local community join together to personally release their own Painted lady butterfly into the beautiful, butterfly friendly grounds whilst remembering their loved one.

It was just wonderful for the team and some of our ladies and gentlemen to be able to start planning this unique and memorable  day. 

Although it was a bit drizzly outside our Summer Sing and Smile still went ahead as we moved indoors. Residents’ families joined us for an afternoon of live music, as we all sang and danced to our favourite songs. A wonderful afternoon full of joy and smiles.

Earlier in the month Birch Heath Lodge held their summer community BBQ, here are a few highlights of the event.
