Anti-bullying odd sock day
The people living with us at Bowerfield Court celebrated Anti-Bullying day which is a special event organised by the Anti-Bullying alliance group to raise awareness about the negative impacts of bullying, encourage people to stand up against discrimination and promote the importance of individuality. The people that live with us as well as members of staff wore "odd socks" on the day and managed to raise funds destinated to the Anti-bullying alliance. We would like to thank Amy, the resident's representative for arranging it.

Memory Cinema
Kings Court had a trip to the Swindon Arts Centre to visit their memory cinema. Those that went had a lovely experience! They had tea & coffee on arrival and then went into the cinema to watch ' Who Framed Rodger Rabbit'. This is something they offer once a month at the Arts Centre, next month is ' The Railway Children'.
Children In Need
Everyone came together at Allingham House to enjoy a great fundraising coffee morning to raise money for Children in Need. It was the perfect opportunity to enjoy singing and dancing, whilst we had tea, coffee, and nibbles.
Armistice Day
Chartwell Manor put on a lovely poppy display in their home to pay their respects on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. It featured lots of meaningful items, and a jar for collections towards The Poppy Appeal.
Lest we forget.
Black History Month
Coplands care home celebrated Black History Month this week. Staff and some of the people living with us joined together for a celebration. There was a delicious buffet on offer for everyone to enjoy and decorations around the home. Everyone spoke about Black History and what it means to them.
Happy Halloween
Minster Grange had an amazing Halloween party. Colleagues, the people living with us, and family and friends all attended to celebrate the night. There was a lovely buffet from the kitchen and some tasty cakes. After, pumpkin carving took place, followed by a Halloween film in the lounge with a glass of wine. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a good night.
The Severn Valley Railway
The Wharf had a magical day out on The Severn Valley Railway. The people living with us had a great time on the train. We stopped off at Highly Station and strolled to The Engine House Museum and restaurant. In the Engine House there were lots of stalls to take a look at, selling lots of lovely products. We would like to say thank you to Peter and his family for getting us tickets to attend.
Japanese Day at Princess Lodge
Princess Lodge had a great day celebrating Japanese culture. Colleagues and the people living with us dressed in traditional clothing and the kitchen team cooked a brilliant Japanese meal. This included chicken katsu curry and Japanese fluffy cheesecakes. The day also involved learning all about Japan’s culture which was very interesting.
Glennie House turns 18
Glennie House celebrated their 18th birthday this week with residents and staff coming together to have a big party. Bobbie Dazzler provided first class entertainment, singing and dancing with the people living with us.
The home also celebrated Leigh, Lesley, and Nicola (Care Practitioners), who have worked with us for a huge 18 years. Well done, your hard work and dedication is amazing.
Mad Hatters Tea Party at Bridge House
Bridge House Care Home held a Mad Hatters tea party recently.
The people living with us wore mad hats that they had decorated, and staff dressed up as different characters. We had great entertainment, and our wonderful chef gave us an amazing afternoon tea which was as delicious.
There was lots of fun, laughter, singing and dancing. A great day.
