🎯🎶 Fun and Fitness at The Elms ! 🎶🎯

Our residents had an action-packed day filled with laughter and movement! 💃🕺

First up was Target Practice, where steady hands and sharp eyes made for some fantastic shots — and plenty of cheering from the sidelines!

Then it was time to shake things up with Pom Pom Dancing to Music — , big smiles, and some seriously impressive rhythm! 🎵

Staying active and having fun is what it's all about. Well done to everyone who took part — you were amazing!
