Betty loves exercise and is always on the go here at The Wharf!.  So much so we're taking delivery of a treadmill so that Betty and our residents who love to get moving can get their daily workouts in whatever the weather!.

This resident was playing with playdough over zoom with her granddaughter and husband watching and chatting to her. 

The last week, the residents could go in the garden to enjoy the beautiful view of the snow, also we had time to discover the foot prints of two of our "friends", two beautiful foxes that used to visit us from time to time and to make the first snowman of the season. 

Futhermore, the residents joined to the celebration of Burns Night, when we remembered the figures of the poet Robert Burns. The residents enjoyed reading and colouring an illustrated poem of Robert Burn, A Red, Red Rose.

To Ursa and the whole team, 

Just to say a very big thank you for everything the team do for my mum, AK.

With the beginning of a new year we decided to introduce new ideas within activities. One of the ideas discussed alongside residents in an activities meeting, was to begin a weekly relaxing art session. That would be designated to creating artwork for the walls of the home, calling it ‘Bringing the home to life’.

The Spotlight Theatre Company is the home of Bridlington Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (BAODS) and a registered charity. They offer a space for rehearsals and community activities, whilst also live streaming from world famous companies of opera, ballet and drama productions.

Music, bubbles and a glass of port made a great combination for a joyful morning of friendship and conversation. It was great to enjoy the lovely atmosphere together, say 'cheers' to friends and have a thoroughly wonderful time. 

We have enjoyed many arts and crafts sessions throughout January along with many other activities including puzzles, games and movie afternoons. 

February is finally here and we have lots of activities planned throughout the month for the people living at White Rose Lodge. Click on the below link to view some of the exiting things planned.

We know how important it is to keep in touch in these challenging times and thanks to the technology this is possible. The residents have enjoyed a video call with the children from the nursery next door and from the IBS. The children and the residents really enjoyed singing their favourite songs like Incy Wincy Spider, I'm A Little Teapot, The Grand Old Duke Of York and Jack and Jill.

Team Nights Court were bursting with excitement on Thursday 28th January. Our favourite Knights court couple Mrs and Mrs V were celebrating their 65th Wedding Anniversary. The Activities team had to think outside the box.
