For this weeks craft club we marked World Ocean Day through colouring wonderful sea creatures and creating colourful jellyfish while watching and listening to the wonderful sights and sounds of an aquarium. Lots of comments on beautiful scenes and the relaxing water sounds, making for a lovely morning session of creativity and conversation.

Hope Green are a great team and this week the manager initiated a Bacon Butty Friday morning for all staff to enjoy. To add to this there was a delivery of gifts too which will be handed out over the following days to staff members as an appreciation of all their continued hard work. Well done Hope Green staff for going above and beyond to make life wonderful for all our residents.

To Celebrate HMs Platinum Jubilee Birch Heath Lodge held a party in appreciation of the Queen. Families were invited to the event and the day was eagerly anticipated by everyone. The Party commenced with George Croiala who entertained us with his piano. We sang and serenaded with a collection of traditional songs. A photograph scene was made for anyone who wanted a picture with the Queen. A royal Quiz and Prize bingo followed a buffet fit for a King or Queen. Garden games like skittles and whack the rat entertained for those who took to the garden.

Some wonderful photos from our celebrations of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee here at Kings Court

After weeks spent designing, colouring, painting and sticking together our home made decorations we were able to display them all with great pride at our garden party.

Not only did the weather stay dry for our special event, but it was such a joy to celebrate with families and friends of the people living with us. We all enjoyed an afternoon of entertainment and games.

A huge thank you to everyone for making it a time to remember!

As everyone was busy celebrating the Queens Platinum Jubilee over the bank holiday weekend, River View waited until Tuesday 7th so more of our family members were able to join in the celebrations with everyone living here.

The home was decorated throughout for the duration as well as the garden for the party. Our kitchen team put together a beautiful royal banquet, which all the people living and working at River View, as well as guests, were able to enjoy.

We had a brilliant day with our residents celebrating The Queens Jubilee. Everyone loved our outdoor party with our buffet, entertainment, refreshments and a tombola. We also had a visit from our mayoress.

Hope Green celebrated in style together surrounded by red white and blue for a special Jubilee afternoon. What a wonderful and joyful time we had! Music playing gently in the background, fresh flowers on the tables picked from our beautiful gardens and our very best tea sets. Residents comments included 'oh how lovely!' 'this is fantastic' and 'thankyou so much'.

Jubilee Saturday was a beautiful day and we had a family and friends BBQ. Our home was hopping with visitors and yummy food. We had burgers, sausages, chicken with all of the fixings and an amazing dessert buffet. Seeing all of the happy smiling faces enjoying good food and camaraderie was good for the heart and soul.

We decorated our reception area with a lot of buntings. Also, we made a memory tree for the queen which consists of photos of the queen throughout Her reign. This tree was built with the help of our residents and staff. Everyone passing in our reception is taking time to look on to this and showed how happy they are.
