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.

We have been discussing the history of Chocolate and our own local brands. Lots of lovely Bournville chocolate was available which was Lillian's favourite. 

Burns Night was celebrated at Cavendish Court with poetry, whisky and clootie pudding. A wonderful afternoon enjoyed by all. 

We had a lovely afternoon at Cavendish Court recreating The Price is Right. Residents were invited to come on down and guess the price. The residents had a great discussion around the rise in prices and the cost of living nowadays. Good fun had by all and our amazing assistant Jordan was a great hit. 

Chocolate celebration, lots of conversation which is the nicest and our favourite brands.
