Some friends of one of our residents asked if they could come and visit her as a surprise so our amazing catering manager Tracey decided it would be a lovely idea to provide everyone with a beautiful tasty afternoon tea. Thank you Tracey and our hospitality team, always going above and beyond for our lovely residents.  

The people living at Brunel wanted to have a wine and cheese tasting evening.  The lifestyle team were only too happy to create a platters with a range of cheeses from Mild cheddar to the stronger cheeses like Stilton.
It was a lovely afternoon and everyone really enjoy the selections that we had, there was lots of conversation and reminiscence around cheese which was really lovely.  The cheese was also paired with a selection of wines to choose from.

We were so pleased to have been visited by a local harpist to play for the people at the home.  Everyone really enjoyed listening to the beautiful tones and familiar songs.

Its not everyday that you get to celebrate a Platinum wedding anniversary, 70 years being married is such an achievement.  Living at the home, the couple wanted to celebrate the day with their friends and family so we created a space for them to enjoy the special day together.  There was food, refreshments and of course a cake for them to cut together.  It was a fantastic day that was enjoyed by all who attended.  Many congratulations to them both.

We were so pleased to be able to be back to the Gerrard's cross car show that was on today.  It is so important to us that we are a part of our community and this was a lovely opportunity for the team to meet some new people and they had a fantastic time at the event.  Does the stand look so lovely?

The people living with us love to bake so today we were making lemon tarts which were then enjoyed by the whole home this afternoon with afternoon tea.  

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Summer Fete. The event was so much fun for everyone and we had such an amazing time with everyone and we hope that you guys did too. 

Having our own cafe at Water Royd allows us to create a different social space for the people living with us.  It was so enjoyable to host a coffee morning which was enjoyed by all.  The cakes were also a big hit with everyone.

Extra hydration in these warm days is so important so we got creative and made shapes out of our watermelon to celebrate watermelon day. We also decorated them afterwards and enjoyed them as a nice refreshing treat, our people really enjoyed this as quotes by Laura " we just love to get stuck in "

People living with us love the outdoors and so we got out playing table top games outside in the sunshine and enjoyed some refreshments.
