🚂✨ All Aboard the Intercontinental Express at Cofton Park Manor! ✨🚂

Last week, our care home Cofton Park Manor in Cofton Hackett took residents, families, and the local community on an unforgettable journey around the world – all without leaving the home! 🌍

From Italy’s rich flavours and Mexico’s vibrant fiesta, to the sunshine spirit of Greece, the electric energy of Ibiza (complete with a neon rave 🪩🎶), and finally Sweden – each day was packed with themed food, live entertainment, and cultural activities.

They even had their very own train conductor checking passports as guests boarded for each destination – adding to the fun and sense of adventure! 🚉✈️

The atmosphere was filled with laughter, music, dancing, and connection – a perfect reminder that life doesn’t stop when you move into a care home; it’s just the start of a new chapter filled with amazing experiences. 💙

🏉 Rugby spirit meets community spirit at Richmond Manor! 🏉

Our sports-loving residents were thrilled to welcome the Ampthill Womens Rugby Team to Richmond Manor Care Home as they collected their brand-new team shirts.

The shirts – sponsored by our home – will be proudly worn at the Cheltenham Festival, and we couldn’t be prouder to support such a dedicated and inspiring local team.

A special moment for 95-year-old resident Colleen Cockerill, whose stepdaughter, Sally Cockerill, once played for England as a blindside flanker – proving that the love of rugby truly runs in the family.

We wish them the best of luck for the season ahead – we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! 💛💜

Sports-mad residents at a Bedford care home were delighted to meet the Ampthill Lionesses rugby team, who visited them to pick up some smart new shirts.
