Towell House Residential Home

Towell House Residential Home Towell House is a large residential home in East Belfast. Mr Towell was born in Donacloney, County Down in March 1872.

TOWELL HOUSE
A BRIEF HISTORY

In the early 1950’s the late David Towell gifted a sum of money to The Towell Building Trust Ltd with the express purpose of opening a residential care home for older people of limited means. As a young man he moved to London and eventually established several successful tailoring business outlets. On retirement in 1946 Mr Towell and his wife continued their deep interest in social issues, contributing generously to a number of charities. They also decided to support the building of a residential care home in Northern Ireland and gifted funds to the Towell Trust which was formed to build what became known as Towell House. The Home was officially opened on 2nd October 1958 by the Lady Wakehurst, wife of the then Governor of Northern Ireland. Towell House was the first purpose built home of its kind in Belfast. Sadly, due to declining health, neither Mr Towell nor his wife, who pre-deceased him, were able to visit the Home but Mr Towell maintained an eager interest in the Home until his death in November 1960. The Home has now operated most successfully for over fifty years – a new wing was opened in 1998 and the current Board of Directors are presently considering the future development of Towell House. The home has enjoyed another extension to the property with the er****on of a delivery and storage facility. This has been a welcome addition, improving the front entrance for residents and visitors.

A few photos from our Men’s Shed at Towell House, getting stuck into the Ecotherapy project 🌿

The group have been building and varnishing birdhouses and bug hotels — practical work that supports local wildlife while giving everyone the chance to learn new skills and work together 🐦🐞

Great to see the effort and teamwork going into it.

Over the past 6 weeks, our residents have been taking part in a wonderful poetry circle with Roy, all working towards the goal of writing their very own poem ✨

Week after week, those who joined came back religiously. It quickly became a safe, welcoming space where creativity could truly flourish. The room was filled with imagination, expression, and a beautiful sense of connection.

Most importantly, it reminded our residents of just how capable and talented they are 💛

The sessions were so meaningful and well received that we’re excited to continue the journey—with more opportunities to create alongside Roy coming soon 📖

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day 🌸

Today we celebrate all the wonderful mothers, grandmothers and mother figures who have shared so much love, care and guidance throughout their lives.
For many, it’s a day to celebrate special memories and spend time with family, but we also recognise that Mother’s Day can bring many different feelings for different people.
We’re thinking of everyone today — those celebrating, those remembering, and those who may find today a little difficult.

To mark the day, we’re sharing a beautiful poem from one of our favourite local poets, which captures the love and appreciation so many of us feel. 💐

From everyone here at our home, we wish you a gentle and meaningful Mother’s Day. 💖
