The people who live at Abingdon Court all have different physical abilities but we always find common ground through exercise. From the choice of music, to the simplicity of the moves, to how we deliver the classes - we really want to make sure our exercise sessions provide satisfaction for all. It is proven that any form of exercise can boost a plethora of chemicals to the brain which improves our mood, raises our self-esteem, and infuses us with happiness. 

Work has begun on the herb and vegetable patch for Princess Lodge. It's still early days but there is plenty of potting and planting happening. Tomatoes, courgettes, and cucumber are the first selection of vegetables to be planted with more to come.

We had a big Easter Egg hunt around the garden, it was a beautiful day and it held out which we were thrilled about. All the eggs were found and enjoyed in the sun, it was a successful hunt. 

The smiles we saw this day were amazing to see and the joy really did spread throughout the house which made it a lovely environment to be in. 

Staff dressed up to bring some joy and games to the house, this really did boost morale. Lots of laughs all round. 

A fun game of football broke out in the garden which residents would join in keeping them active. We had lots of fun.
