🏉 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! 💛💜

A lovely day for residents - several of the ladies went out for a country drive to Bexhill then back via Pevensey to take in the magnificence of Pevensey Castle.
Whilst those who stayed at home enjoyed Mexican 🇲🇽 word searches and colouring to coincide with our Mexico theme.
Lunch was Fajitas and Chilli con carne- which were extremely popular and went down very well.

We love to pride ourselves at Abbots Wood Manor with our unique and resident led activities programme.
But does having our own air show get any better?
Traffic being as heavy as it is, we brought Eastbourne to the home and watched the simply formidable Red Arrows and RAF Typhoon from the luxury of our Cinema room- live streaming the show to the home so everyone could enjoy this fantastic show.

Well done to the whole team at AWM for helping get this set up.
Team work makes the dream work.



They say- we do.

We’re so proud of the wonderful residents at Elstow Manor Care Home and Richmond Manor Care Home, whose talented hands and warm hearts have been busy knitting blankets, tiny hats, and bonnets for babies in the Neo Natal Units at Bedford Hospital and Luton & Dunstable Hospital.

At 92, Richmond Manor resident Barbara Fairey summed it up beautifully:

“We’re a very sociable group and we enjoy creating things, so when we heard that we could make a difference to the babies in hospital, we jumped at the opportunity.”

A huge thank you to Bedford Today for shining a light on this incredible act of kindness 💕
