A big thank you to Hoole CE Primary School year 3 and 4 for an amazing performance of 'Hamlet' this morning and not forgetting year 5 and 6 last week performing 'Midsummer's Nights Dream'! We all really enjoyed the performance from such a talented group of children. Bravo! 👏🎭

We have recognised 'Dying matters' week at Belong Chester with some special events aimed at breaking the stigma around talking about death. Our residents, tenants and staff all got together to talk openly and honestly, shared stories and a cuppa together. We hung special messages to lost loved ones on our memory tree and we even found time for some sensory relaxing hand massage!

Happy retirement, Steve! 🎉

Thank you for everything you’ve done for everyone over the past few years. You’ve worked across so many areas around the village, always showing dedication and commitment. After all the comebacks, the time has finally come to hang up your badge!

Wishing you all the very best in this next chapter of life — you’ll truly be missed.

What a brilliant night… the first of many pub nights to come! 🍻✨
Tonight’s darts and dominoes evening was a huge success. Cold beer, hot food (a big thank you to our amazing bistro team 👏), and even better company made it one to remember.
There were plenty of laughs, great conversations, a few competitive dart matches 🎯, dominoes on the go, and lots of other fun pub games throughout the night.
It’s always special bringing together tenants, residents, and families — nights like these remind us what a fantastic community we have. Here’s to many more! 🥂

What a day! 🌼🦆

We were pleased to support Chester Duck Race, with Dyan Crimes, Intergenerational Experience Coordinator, and Hans Kelly-Slack, Creative Activities Assistant, popping down to The Groves for Saturday's race.

The pair cheered on Ali and DuckBy, our entry representing both the village and Ready Generations Nursery and helping to raise funds for The Countess Charity.

It's the start of Global Intergenerational Week! A great opportunity to shine a light on when our member Belong's integrated retirement village which features an on-site nursery was highlighted on The One Show! https://www.nationalcareforum.org.uk/members-news/belong-villages-feature-on-bbc-the-one-show/ This piece beautifully illustrates this model of care helps nurture friendships between generations and how the young, and the young at heart, can learn from each other equally

What a wonderful way to start the day in Chester! 🇬🇧✨

We celebrated St George’s Day with a fabulous international breakfast, bringing everyone together for a morning full of smiles and great conversation. Our wonderful tenants, residents, experience day customers, and the children from the Ready Generations Nursery all enjoyed a delicious full English breakfast prepared by our amazing Bistro team.

It was so special to see generations coming together, sharing stories, laughter, and community spirit around the table. Moments like these remind us how powerful connection and community can be. ❤️
