We enjoyed national elf day earlier this month as we raised money for the Alzheimer's Society. Staff and residents dressed up in elf costumes and accessories whilst we enjoyed a fun filled day with a Christmas special concert on one floor whilst residents from another floor enjoyed hot chocolates with popcorn and watched a Christmas movie.

We had the most elftastic time at Clarendon Court fund raising for the Alzheimer's Society whilst having fun for Elf Day. Staff and residents dressed up as elves and participated in hilarious elf themed games.

Staff and residents of Clarendon Court wore it pink to raise funds for Breast Cancer Research and raised an amazing £116.30. Thank you to everyone who took part.

Here is our lovely Jean looking fabulous at the Christmas party, all of our residents had a great time the drinks were flowing and the food was delicious , we were treated to live music from Richard Swings who proved to be quite the Christmas crooner.

It was great to team up with the local charity "Self Care matters" for our Christmas party. Alison the founder of the charity teamed up with our chef Caitlin to provide some tasty treats for our buffet. there was barely a crumb left.

We have been hand decorating Christmas cards to send to families, we all love the craft workshops and celebrated our hard work with mince pies and mulled wine.

We have decorated a small area of our Home to Take Special Christmas Pics of our Residents here at Troutbeck, we will be posting them off to families together with our hand decorated Christmas Cards. Everyone has loved seeing the Decorations go up.

We have been collecting donations for the Salvation Army in Keighley.

A big thank you to Yorkshire Cleaning and Maintenance for your kind donation of Toys and Games and also to Airdale Hospital for your donation of food and toiletries, and from our families we really appreciate it.

Christmas at Hope Green wouldn't be complete without some wreath making so we set about gathering all that we needed and produced some great wreaths. Individual creativity is always a wonderful thing to celebrate and this was certainly one of those celebrations.

What a lovely morning at Hope Green as we melted chocolate, selected toppings, and chose pink or white marshmallows. Each resident had their own personal decorating station so it was a perfect opportunity to try something a little different and work independently whilst chatting to friends. A lovely morning of food tasting and friendship
