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.

🎨🌺 Each month, our residents explore the world of art through the eyes of a different artist. Last month, we admired Van Gogh and his iconic Sunflowers 🌻 — and this month, we’ve been inspired by the bold and beautiful Frida Kahlo! 💐

Together, we created a stunning noticeboard filled with colourful flowers, celebrating Frida’s love of nature, creativity, and self-expression. 🌸🌼🌷

As Frida once said, “I paint flowers so they will not die.” 🌹
Our residents embraced that spirit wholeheartedly — filling our home with colour, joy, and a touch of Frida’s vibrant energy! 💖

💛 A quick reminder!

We’ll be gathering up all of your generous donations next week and delivering them to Dundonald Foodbank

If you’d still like to contribute, there’s still time — the collection point is in the front porch of Towell House, and we’ll be accepting donations until Thursday 23rd October.
Thank you once again to everyone who has supported our food drive so far — your kindness truly makes a difference. 🌾💫

♥️ As the evenings begin to draw in and the Harvest season approaches, we’re reminded of the importance of community, kindness, and supporting those in need

We’re reaching out once again to our amazing relatives, dedicated staff, and the wider local community to support this year’s food drive. Last year, your generosity during our first-ever collection was truly heartwarming and made a meaningful impact.

We're delighted to be running the initiative again this year, and we hope you’ll join us in supporting Dundonald Foodbank and those in need within our community.

We have been in touch with the foodbank, and they have kindly provided the list below, of the items they are most in need of at the moment.

If you are in a position to contribute, any donations would be greatly appreciated. A collection point has been set up in the front porch of Towell House, where items can be dropped off at your convenience.
We will be accepting donations until Thursday 23rd October, after which our residents and staff will personally deliver the collected items to the foodbank.

“Food donation fosters a sense of community and togetherness, creating bonds that transcend differences.”

Thank you once again for your continued kindness and support. Together, we can help bring comfort to those who need it most.

When the CEO is away… the giant inflatables come out to play! 🙈🎈

It’s not chaos, it’s strategic fun deployment.

PS: Nobody tell the CEO. Act normal. 🤣

✨ We spent a beautifully peaceful morning with Bróna and Anne, who treated the residents to a taster reflexology session.

With calming music, soothing lavender in the air, and pure relaxation all around, it wasn’t long before we were drifting into a blissful state. 🌿

A big thank you to Bróna and Anne for bringing such calm and comfort to our morning! 💜
