The activities team kick started 2021 with the return of the virtual armchair cruise. An amazing all in one activity. Our most recent travel was to Greece where the activities team went that extra mile and dressed the part to provide the residents with the ultimate experience. The residents absolutely loved the decorations, food, dancing, music and outfits along with ancient Greek crowns they were gifted with.

Inspired by Sir Captain Tom Moore, memory boards have been lovingly made by residents and staff at Wyndham Hall, God Bless and Good Night Captain Tom.

We had a visit from a young boy and his mum who are local to Clarendon Court, he asked his mum if he could write to us and send some biscuits for them to give them a big smile on their faces. It is a lovely gesture and certainly brought lots of smiles. 

The residents enjoyed taking part in The Big Garden Birdwatch. We placed feeders on residents windows and we made fat balls to hang on the trees. They enjoyed it so much that we did it again later on in the week. We have definitely attracted more wildlife to the garden already. 

The last week the residents joined to the celebration of The National Storytelling Week. We organised different activities, starting on Tuesday with arts and crafts when the residents enjoyed colouring the famous 'Once upon a time in a far, far away...' The residents created very nice illustrations, some of them asked if we can display them in their rooms as they were very proud of them. 

The Westbourne is celebrating with theme of 'Love' this February and began with hippy fancy dress, colourful decorations and a morning of our favourite songs from The Beatles. 'All You Need Is Love' was a definite favourite song to get everyone up and dancing! 

A very popular activity here at Clarendon is a good quiz, 'who wants to be a millionaire' is favourite, and we have a good team with great knowledge, this week we worked our way up to the million pound question...and got it wrong, better luck next time. 

Catching all the smiles today and enjoying a game of floors darts...GAME ON!

FABULOUS attire for today at Manorhey, wouldn't you agree? We love to add a bit of colour, sparkle and being creative whilst enjoying the music and songs along the way.

Team Wharf have joined Age UK Bromsgrove, Redditch & Wyre Forest community campaign to get everyone moving more.  Our residents are supporting our local district, Wyre Forest, in recording all the minutes that they spend moving when doing activities. It is proving to be a real success and a brilliant motivation tool to get moving with a real sense of team and community spirit.
