Princess Lodge Senior Games Champions

Residents from Princess Lodge are celebrated athletes.

The second annual Senior Games, which took place over 12 weeks from early September to late December last year, saw residents engage in activities such as javelin throwing, golf, tin can knocking, and dancing. The initiative, managed by Swindon Borough Council's Public Health Team, was run in partnership with Great Western Hospital's NHS Foundation Trust and Wiltshire and Swindon Sport (WASP), who funded the programme.

Alpacas Visit for Animal Therapy

Norwich taken over with Alpaca love.

Yesterday, our home had some very special visitors - Alpacas! These fluffy and friendly animals came as part of our animal therapy session. Both residents and staff were thrilled to meet them. Everyone had the chance to pet the alpacas and feel their incredibly soft fur. We learned many fascinating facts about these gentle creatures. For example, alpacas communicate with each other through a series of hums and body language.
