Anchor - Oakleigh

Here at Oakleigh care home we are starting a sustainability project called "Dig for Oakleigh". We will be creating an allotment and are asking the local community for any help and advice to accomplish this project. Any volunteers will be welcome to some of the produce from the allotment and any assistance throughout the project will be greatly appreciated. This project will not only increase sustainability, but will improve our resident's wellbeing by helping them get involved. If anyone would like to support us with the project, please get in touch at 01883731000.

Residents at Anchor - The Manor House Knaresborough in Yorkshire have been experiencing the magic of having their bucket list dreams turned into reality. Thanks to the home’s dedicated team going above and beyond, the residents’ long-held wishes have come true.

Resident David had always wanted to ride a steam train, and with careful planning, the team at The Manor House Knaresborough were able to make that happen. David enjoyed a scenic train ride across the Yorkshire Dales, with others from the home.

Susan, another resident at The Manor House Knaresborough, was born in Ireland. She always dreamt of returning, so the team brought Ireland to her, transforming the home into a vibrant celebration of Irish culture.

Priors Hall Care Home in Corby recently opened its doors for the latest gathering of its Community Lunch Club - a vibrant afternoon of friendship, food, and shared stories designed to bring together people from across the local area.

The gathering offered a wonderful chance for local neighbours and familiar faces to reconnect. Three Priors Hall residents were especially thrilled to welcome a friend from nearby Priors Hall Park and before the afternoon ended, they exchanged phone numbers to keep in touch beyond the event.
