Our residents spent the afternoon making Christmas cards for their loved ones which will make lovely keepsakes. We then had a Christmassy film and a quiz and everyone enjoyed refreshments.

Our residents had a lovely morning baking coconut tarts. It triggered lots of lovely memories when they lived at home and baked for their own families.

This morning our lovely residents made and decorated gingerbread houses, they all loved talking of Christmas time, the smells and of course the delicious food.

Christmas has arrived at The Wharf and we are looking forward to welcoming our residents friends & families over the festive season.

Christmas preparations were in full swing at Furze Hill Lodge in November and the residents enjoyed wrapping presents and preparing the decorations for our tree. Lloyd our lifestyle manager had Xmas music playing in the background to get everyone in the Christmas spirit, warm mince pies were on offer as a treat for all their hard work!

Our residents have had a lovely afternoon decorating the Christmas tree in another of our lounges today. It triggered lots of lovely memories for them from when they used to decorate their own homes at Christmas time over the years. Conversation flowed and everyone enjoyed refreshments.  We played Christmas music, and everyone enjoyed the festive atmosphere.  

We had a lovely day on Friday celebrating Elf day with a family and friends, playing games and quizzes. 

Creating meaningful activities that support independence for the people that live with us is so important.  The lifestyle team worked with the catering team to provide an opportunity for people to make their own supper.  Everyone had a great time cutting up vegetables for soup and making the homemade bread which was thoroughly enjoyed by all in the evening.

We would like to thank everyone who came and supported our MacMillan coffee morning and cake sale. Our kitchen was very busy making some delicious cakes that tasted as good as they looked.
