🍂🌾 Harvest Festival at Halecroft Grange 💜 🌾🍂

The golden leaves are falling, the pumpkins are out, and it can only mean one thing – Harvest Festival! 🎃🍁 A season for giving thanks, sharing, and spreading a little warmth.

We’re collecting donations for St Wilfrid’s Church in Wythenshawe, and next Friday some of our lovely residents and team will be delivering everything to the church and spending a bit of time there too. 💜

If you’d like to join in, we’d be so grateful for any donations – whether it’s a tin of soup, a bag of pasta, or a box of cereal. Big or small, every little bit helps local people in need. 🥫🍞🥕

👉 Please drop off any donations by Thursday 9th October so we can include them in our Harvest delivery.

Let’s wrap up in those autumn vibes and come together to make this Harvest one to remember for our community. 🍂✨

💚☕ Macmillan Coffee Morning Success! ☕💚

We are absolutely delighted to share that, thanks to the generosity of our residents, families, and team, our Macmillan Coffee Morning raised an incredible £365.90! 🎉👏

From delicious cakes (including Chef Sarah’s showstopper! 🍰) to freshly brewed cups of tea and coffee, the home was filled with laughter, chatter, and plenty of sweet treats. Most importantly, everyone came together to support such a meaningful cause close to so many hearts. 💚

A huge thank you to everyone who baked, donated, and joined us — every penny raised will help Macmillan Cancer Support continue the amazing work they do. 💜

🌟 Gem Award Winner – September 🌟

This month’s shining star is none other than Purity! 💎💜

Purity, who recently moved from our Care Team into Activities, has already wowed us all — picking up an amazing six nominations from residents and colleagues! ✨

Why? Because nothing is ever too much trouble for her, she cares deeply about everyone around her, and she does it all with a smile that’s brighter than the Gem Award itself! 😄💜

We’re so lucky to have Purity as part of the Halecroft Grange family. Congratulations, Purity — this recognition is truly well deserved! 👏🎉

📖✨ What a wonderful afternoon we’ve had at Halecroft Grange 💜!

Our residents gathered together for a poetry session, and it was such a treat hearing everyone share their favourite poems. Some brought back funny stories, others sparked memories from years gone by – and before we knew it, the room was full of laughter, chatter and a few “do you remember when…” moments.

Everyone got involved, and the best part was how much joy it brought just sitting together and sharing words that mean so much. The group is already asking when the next poetry afternoon is – so we’d better get it on the calendar soon! 😉

☕💚 We had such a lovely morning here at Halecroft Grange 💜 for our Macmillan Coffee Morning.

The team went all out with their baking – the home was full of the smell of fresh cakes, cupcakes and brownies. Our amazing Chef Sarah made a gorgeous cake that quickly became the star of the table (and disappeared just as quickly!). 🍰✨

It was so nice seeing residents, families and staff all sat together with a brew, enjoying a slice (or two!) and having a good chat – all while raising money for a charity that means so much to so many.

A huge thank you to everyone who baked, donated and joined us. Days like this really do show what a special community we have here. 💚

What a fantastic afternoon here at Halecroft Grange 💜 as we welcomed the Lostock Ukulele Band into our home.

The music had everyone smiling, singing along, and even a little bit of dancing in their seats! It was such a joy to see our residents enjoying the classics and sharing memories through song.

A big thank you to the band for filling our home with so much warmth and happiness – we’d love to have you back soon!

🎉 Big birthday cheers for Derek! 🎉

Our brilliant painter and decorator has hit the big 8-0! 🥳 Not only does Derek keep Halecroft Grange 💜 looking spotless and fresh with his magic touch, but he’s also the kind of person who’ll always go the extra mile with a smile.

From fixing up the little things to making sure our home always feels welcoming, nothing is ever too much trouble for him. We’re so lucky to have him as part of our family here.

Have a fantastic birthday, Derek! Enjoy your holiday – we’ll be ready to celebrate properly when you’re back! 🎂🍾

🌿 Today at Halecroft Grange 💜 we had the pleasure of welcoming Emma Smith from Age UK Salford and Trafford, who delivered a truly powerful session on “Empowered Conversations for Carers.”

Emma’s warmth, kindness, and thoughtful approach created such a safe and supportive space for families of loved ones living with dementia. Her talk encouraged open and honest discussion while offering practical, thought-provoking tools that we can all use in daily life—how to listen more deeply, communicate more effectively, and recognise the subtle signs that often go unnoticed.

It was inspiring, engaging, and left us with so much to reflect on. Thank you, Emma, for giving your time and sharing your expertise with us—we can’t wait to welcome you back to Halecroft Grange 💜.

A huge thank you to Blackstone Solicitors Limited for joining us at Halecroft Grange 💜 today.

We welcomed Niyusha, who kindly offered her time to run a drop-in clinic for our residents. Throughout the day, residents were able to pop in for a chat and receive free advice on important matters such as wills, power of attorney, and other personal questions they wished to discuss.

Her approachable and supportive manner made it easy for residents to seek guidance on topics that can often feel overwhelming.

We’re so grateful to Niyusha for contributing her time and expertise — it made a real difference to our residents. 🌟

🍽️✨ We had such a lovely afternoon at The Plough & Flail in Mobberley!

Our residents enjoyed a delicious meal, refreshing drinks, and the warmth of each other’s company. 🥂💜

For one of our gentlemen, the visit was especially meaningful – this was the very pub where he and his wife went for dinner every Friday, bringing back beautiful memories of their time together. 💭❤️

Moments like this remind us how special it is to revisit places that hold love, laughter, and cherished memories close to the heart. 💕
