It's so lovely that residents at Hope Green like to keep busy and offer a helping hand from time to time, using their talents within the home. Whether that's choosing new plant pots for plants in the social areas or arranging bright flowers to add to the summer feel of the home, it's always fun to spend time together and get involved. Feeling useful can also increase our feelings of belonging and friendship. There's definitely a happy atmosphere and lots of friendship at Hope Green.

Last week we celebrated national BBQ week with our residents by enjoying a lovely BBQ lunch. Residents enjoyed hot dogs and burgers with condiments which we washed down with a cold glass of coke which was perfect as the sun came out.

Residents today made their portraits of Manorhey's pet  budgie Bluey. We used tissue paper, colours and other crafts to make their masterpieces which look very like our Bluey.
