A big thank you to the children of Vane Road school who have made our residents these lovely Christmas cards.

Huge thank you to Anne for responding to Pam Lovelass article in the Newton News regarding writing to our residents. So much time and effort must of gone into making these stunning hand made cards and each filled with a beautiful message.

Thank you so much Anne and Pam for writing the article.

Here at Heeley Bank we believe that if we can't take our residents to the Christmas pantomime, we will bring the pantomime to them. Performed and written by our wonderful staff. We brought to life the story of Cinderella. We would love to say a massive thank you to Woodseats Amdram for donating such wonderful costumes.

The residents had as much fun as the staff pretending to try on the slipper Cinders lost running away from the ball.

We know there is nothing more important than family, and in these strange times we want to do what ever we can to bring families together. Which is why we have built our family pod room, keeping families and residents safe, while also bringing everyone together.

The residents at White Rose Lodge decided to send families a homemade calendar for 2021. The residents worked hard throughout November and December decorating monthly pages and putting them together with a Christmas card to wish family and friends a Merry Christmas. 

We, the family, really appreciated the card, tree decoration and Mums photo which I took a picture of and sent to all kin, Spain and USA. A photo to show the decoration has been put into service. 

Many thanks and a Happy New Year.

Message from a family member. 

Santa came to our home, lots and lots of big happy smiles. 

Merry Christmas to all. 

We had a surprise from our local school sending us Christmas card's that the pupils had made, a lovely thought and went down very well with our residents giving us lots of smiles. 

We had a Christmas art and craft day mainly repairing the nose on our snowman and the antlers on the reindeer and general Christmas arts and craft. A very enjoyable day for the class.

A great festive atmosphere was enjoyed by residents and staff with a wonderful Christmas Dinner prepared and served by the chef. It was great to see residents enjoying their presents too. The arrival of a special companion pet was a particular talking point for everyone. Now we need to name him!
