The Platinum Jubilee party was in full swing at The Wharf.  The bubbles were flowing for our families and loved ones with a sumptuous buffet that just kept on giving!.  Everyone had a fabulous time, the feedback has been truly heartwarming and we just can't wait to be able to do it all again very soon!.

We've had a sensational time celebrating the Platinum Jubilee with those living with us, families, loved ones, our fabulous teams and entertainment.  It has been a beautiful time to welcome so many visitors and to see the wondrous expressions of joy all around!.

In the afternoon, our residents played dominoes against us, our resident won the match.

For this months regional tea room competition and with the Platinum Jubilee celebrations around the corner, Birth Heath Lodge decided to show our patriotism by creating a London inspired Tea room.

The residents helped create the city atmosphere with an enormous Big Ben replica with a real clock face. Pictures of London Monuments, famous buildings and London born celebrities filled the walls.

The Queen's Green Canopy is an initiative running nationwide to encourage people to plant a tree to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We are blessed with a garden full of

beautiful trees, but we thought this would be a great opportunity to start planting in the front of the home where we have plenty of space. But we couldn’t stop there…

Residents, staff and families, joined together in a Fundraising Coffee Morning and Afternoon BBQ, a whole day of celebrations to raise money for Dementia UK and Alzheimer's Society.

We raised the Amazing amount of £580.

I would like to thank especially kitchen staff for providing the food and beverages and the families, relatives and members of the community, who joined us to this celebration and raise money to support families living with dementia.

Thank you very much to everyone for your generosity!!!

Our resident's took advantage of the sunshine to do a bit of plant potting today .

Beverley putting a new spin on the term Green fingers...

Fresh air, relaxing music and a coffee went down a treat.

A lovely afternoon had by all.

Platinum Jubilee decorations are filling our home at Hope Green and are extending to the gardens to give our visitors a Royal Welcome. Residents and staff have been busy creating in the craft club, and also out in the gardens with ribbons, bunting and bows. We're a great team at Hope Green and enjoy working alongside each other to celebrate events throughout the year and the Platinum Jubilee for our Queen is definitely something to celebrate in style.

We were visited by a local ice cream van yesterday, nothing beats an ice cream on a very sunny day! We all enjoyed our fabulous ice cream cones, some with sauce and some with sprinkles.

We planted our herb garden this morning but also combined it with a sensory activity. Before we planted our herbs we had a little smelling and taste game, our residents got to smell our herbs and have a little taste before they guessed what they were. Our overall winner was our lovely Jane who won a little award for her efforts. Once we planted our herbs we gave them a good water and placed them in the garden where they belong.
