September activities included a fabulous performance by Mike and Lou celebrating 85th Anniversary of Battle of Britain. Our residents, staff and families thoroughly enjoyed the show.
Next we went on a Canal boat trip which travelled along the Grand Union Canal. The weather was glorious 🌞 which enabled us to sit on the bow eating 🍪, drinking ☕️feeding the 🦆🦢. This was followed by a fish and chip lunch ( collected by the skipper from a local chip shop). Then more ☕️ and 🍰.
Next we held a MacMillan Coffee Morning raising money for a very worthy cause. Delicious cakes were previously made by our residents and chef Gary.
This year Kath (who’s mum is one of our residents) offered to sell her beautiful arts and crafts then donated all the money to McMillan.
We raised a whopping £119.41 in total.
Thank you to everyone who donated 👏👏👏

In July Amanda Seal returned to Rosalyn House to sing and perform for us. Our residents loved singing and dancing along.
This was followed by our annual jumble sale. We raised £115.00 in total.
Next Gavan Clarke played his guitar and sang familiar songs to our residents.
Unfortunately, the minibus we to use for our trips has broken down and is now awaiting repairs so we took our residents out into the local community instead.
We went to Costa, Morrisons, Library, Church and ‘The Chequers pub’.
We still hope to go to Woburn Zoo and the seaside in September when the minibus is fixed.
The canal trip is definitely going ahead in September as planned as we use different transport for that.
We hope to see you at the Fete on 24th August at 2pm for a fun filled afternoon 🎈🍔 🍾🍰🧁🎈

On 8th May we celebrated the 80th Anniversary of VE Day with Leyla. She sang all the wartime songs, our residents joined in and had a wonderful time. This was followed by a lovely buffet.
We asked our residents where they would like to go on a trip and the majority chose a garden centre. Our Manager Shelly drove the minibus to Dobbies in Bletchley. Our residents had a great time looking at all the plants bringing back memories of when they used to tend to their own gardens.
Then our carers Beth and Louise suggested we trial a holistic and pampering afternoon. This included crystals, tarot and angel cards, foot spa, massager and face masks. It was a lovely relaxing experience for our residents. Thank you ladies👏👏
Next we took our residents to Jordan’s Mill in Biggleswade. We had lovely afternoon walking around the gardens in the sunshine followed by coffee and cake (of course) 🫖☕️🍰

We started our Easter celebrations with singing from Thomas Whitehead schoolchildren. A few of the residents were left teary-eyed by the end of their performance . To show our appreciation all 26 children received an Easter egg.
(It is a shame, but understandable, that we are unable to take/show photos of the children due to GDPR).
Next Amanda Seal performed for us. Our residents enjoyed singing along to all the well known songs.
On Good Frinday we served hot cross buns and they went down a treat.
On Easter Sunday we gave all our residents an Easter egg. This was followed by Afternoon Tea and cakes.
April has seen some glorious weather so we took advantage of this by taking our residents out into the community, going to the local shops followed by a coffee and cake at Costa and the Smoothie Bar. We also took our residents around the gardens at Houghton Hall Park.

March activities included Mike and Lou performing for us. They really are great and deliver a brilliant performance every single time 👏👏👏.
On pancake day at 3pm our residents had pancakes and all the toppings they could want were available 🥞. Lent followed and we asked our residents what they have ever given up for Lent. Next was International Women’s Day, we asked residents what advice would they give to the young women of today.
Mother’s Day began with salon pampering and manicure and polish for the ladies followed by Afternoon Tea for all residents and their families.
St Patrick’s Day was celebrated with singing, dancing and buffet food/cake

We would like to say a massive ‘THANK YOU’ to the family of Stephen Smith who raised a whopping £725 by collecting donations for our Resident’s Fund.
Stephen lived with us from 03/12/2022 until 30/01/2025.
His family wanted to donate this money because they were really happy with the care/ attention he received and all the activities that he loved to be involved in.
Stephen’s family would like the money raised to go towards a Sensory Touchscreen Table.
