For National Scrabble Day, we held a tournament here at the home — and it certainly got competitive at times!

We had one standout winner, with Eileen achieving a fantastic triple word score and a total of 233 points.

Well done, Eileen! 👏

This week’s Art Club was all about flowers. 🌸

Residents enjoyed a flower-themed week, creating beautiful pieces inspired by the season — a lovely way to celebrate colour, creativity, and the joy of spring.

We held our bake sale on the weekend and raised over £70 for the residents’ activity fund. 🎉

Residents took turns helping to run the stall, making it a real team effort and a lovely community event.

A huge thank you to one of our families, Lorraine, for kindly baking sweet treats, and to our staff members Ruth and Michael for their contributions too.

And of course, thank you to everyone who came along and supported us — it truly means so much.

A creative twist on flower arranging saw us making beautiful collages of flowers in vases. 🌸

It was a lovely, relaxed activity, and one of our residents was especially pleased with the finished result — a wonderful moment of pride and creativity.

We put a lovely twist on National Walking Day. 🌸
Four of our residents enjoyed a walk through the garden and into the community, each carrying a drawing of a vase. Along the way, they spotted beautiful flowers and added them to their pictures, bringing their “vases” to life with nature.

Don't they look beautiful!

We finished off a very busy Easter bank holiday with a spot of baking. 🐣

What a wonderful day it’s been. 🐣

From Easter egg deliveries to plenty of laughter, the celebrations were in full swing. A big thank you to Charlotte for being this year’s Easter Bunny and spreading so much joy.

Residents enjoyed Easter word games and jokes before receiving their eggs, followed by a lovely sensory activity. Together, they created Easter sensory baskets, exploring different textures and colours — a particularly meaningful experience for those living with dementia.

The day was then rounded off perfectly with a traditional roast lamb dinner, enjoyed together by all.

It’s been a very chocolate-filled couple of days here. 🍫🐣

Residents have enjoyed trying their hand at making their own Easter eggs, creating mini Easter egg bark, and even combining it all with a touch of art therapy along the way.

A fun, creative, and delicious way to celebrate the Easter season together.
