We enjoyed an afternoon of pizza making in preparation for our take away and film night.

There were a huge selection of toppings and we discovered some budding chefs amongst us! Its fair to say they were all delicious.

Recently we were head over heels, as we witnessed something really quite special here at the grounds of Abingdon Court.



The continuity of lifestyle needs of those who live here is of the utmost importance to us. So, when faced with the devastating obstacle that a gentleman who lives here might not be able to attend the wedding of his daughter, we knew that an alternate arrangement had to be made.

Cavendish Court held their very own awards ceremony celebrating the staff and residents, they also had a lovely buffet which everyone enjoyed.

An afternoon of apple cider and apple pie in celebration of world apple day!

Residents enjoyed a sensory 'light' show Tuesday morning. All of our residents participated changing the colours. 

We couldn’t believe the beautiful weather on the day of our fantastic coffee morning to support and raise funds for Macmillan.  We invited family and friends to join us in the gardens. For sale were the fabulous tie-dye T-shirts, pressed flower art work and decorated photo frames all created by the people living at the Hawthorns. Everyone enjoyed the tea and cakes and a brilliant performance from our favourite singer. We raised an amazing £276!!!  Thank you to everyone who supported us and Macmillan.

The Annual MMCG Care Awards was celebrated brilliantly on Friday 24th September. The people who live at The Hawthorns, dressed up in their finest and joined the team to recognise the achievements of all the nominees. There was a pop up photo booth, themed food and drinks and everyone loved a sashay down the red carpet.

Recently the people who live at The Hawthorn made their own pizzas for tea. As well as kneading their dough to create the perfect pizza base, they also choose their own toppings. They were delicious!!

For Black History Month the people living at The Hawthorns have been involved in a number of activities, including quizzes to identify some of the most influential people and learning more about them.  We also completed word searches and posters.

Another birthday celebration at Deepdene and another excuse for a party.

Happy birthday Bob, it was a great day
