Christmas crafting with our wonderful volunteer, Alistair. 🎄✂️

The table was busy with paper, glue and plenty of conversation. A chance to take our time, share ideas and enjoy creating something together.

We recently welcomed children from the charity Benefit Mankind who came to share Christmas cheer and thoughtful gifts with our residents. 🎄💛

There was lots of chatting and smiles as gifts were handed over and time was spent together. It was one of those visits where we all thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company.

Thank you to everyone who made this visit possible. It meant a great deal to us.

We had a brilliant morning doing sit-down exercises with Coach Rob. 🎉

These sessions are so important for our wellbeing. Regular exercise helps maintain mobility and independence, keeping our bodies active and our minds healthy.

A perfect example of how we bring positivity through shared experiences. A huge thanks to Rob for always bringing such a great energy.

We've had such a wonderful week here at New Springfield. ✨

We took the minibus to Blackpool for the illuminations and fish and chips, held our very first choir practice with team member Tom on the piano and finished with our Christmas Spectacular.

Every week looks a little different here, but regular clubs like choir practice provide routine. That mix of new experiences and structure is what makes life here meaningful and filled with purpose.

We had a visit from the panto! ✨🎭

There was a fantastic turnout for Jack and the Beanstalk and we were thrilled to welcome Louise and her residents from White Ash Brook. The interaction was brilliant, with choruses of "Oh yes he did!" and "He's behind you!" A huge shout out to our very own Shiraz who stole the show as the pantomime cow!

Most residents grew up going to pantos and shared experiences like these tap into long-term memory, which can bring a lot of joy to everyone, but particularly those living with dementia.

✨ Bonfire Night at New Springfield. ✨

We marked Bonfire Night with good food and a gorgeous firework display.

We enjoyed a pie and peas supper before heading outside to watch the sky light up. There was plenty of chatting, wrapped-up warm, sharing stories of past Bonfire Nights.

Thanks to our fantastic team for putting together such a memorable event. 🎆
