And a special Residents’ Choice Award goes to Team 2 – the “Rolling Scones” (our Executive and Senior Management Team), as voted by residents.

Congratulations to all the winners! 👏

A heartfelt thank you to our judges, participants, colleagues and everyone who got involved.

🍰 Sweet treats and afternoon tea perfection ☕

Desserts have dazzled and the afternoon teas have been nothing short of delightful. From delicious cheesecakes to stunning puddings, the creativity just keeps on coming.

The “Pressure Cookers” and “Rolling Scones” truly embraced their inner pâtissiers, all for a brilliant cause.

To make the day even more exciting, many of our care homes and hospitals are following along, preparing and enjoying their own delicious treats.

A big thank you to our brilliant judges, who now face the very difficult job of choosing the winners.

😲 Residents Reunited after 65 Years 👏

Everyone at Queens Manor Care Home in witnessed a special moment recently, as two residents discovered they had known each other over 65 years ago.

Over six decades ago, Margaret used to live in Myrtle Crescent, Bilston, but wanted to move to Bonnyrigg to be nearer to family. As was the norm at the time, she put a notice up in the post office in Poulton requesting a house exchange.

Dorothy, who was living in Eskdale Court, Bonnyrigg, spotted the notice and the ladies arranged to meet, then the exchange was duly arranged. Dorothy’s husband was an HGV driver working at Pentland Garage and the move brought him closer to his workplace.
Once the moves took place, the ladies did not see each other again until they bumped into each other at Queens Manor.

After much chat and reminiscence, it was confirmed that they were indeed the same Margaret and Dorothy who had swapped houses some 65 years ago.

What a small world we live in! ✨

👩‍🍳 The Countdown Is On - One Week to Go! 🍽️

Our Managing Directors and members of Barchester’s Executive and Senior Management Teams will be stepping out of their comfort zones on Thursday 30th April to compete for culinary supremacy in the Barchester Charitable Foundation Cook Off 2026.

Swapping their business suits for chefs’ whites, they will go head-to-head to cook up a storm and raise funds for Barchester's Charitable Foundation.

The Foundation helps connect vulnerable people and those living with disabilities to community groups in their local area by providing grants to improve mobility and quality of life. In 2025, the Foundation achieved a donation milestone of £424,000, which enabled the charity to provide vital help to a staggering 262 small groups and charities, plus 123 individuals in one year alone.

🌟 Good luck, everyone! 🌟

Stay tuned for live updates on the day.

☕ Celebrating National Tea Day 🌸

Residents, patients, families and friends came together to celebrate National Tea Day in style, honouring Britain’s most famous drink.

Our care homes and hospitals put together fantastic tea-inspired parties, supplied with a tasty selection of biscuits, cakes, savoury treats and of course, plenty of tea.

Everyone got involved in a variety of themed activities, including tea tasting sessions, interactive quizzes, tea cup decorating, virtual tea room visits, live music entertainment and more.

It was a tea-rrific day enjoyed by all. ✨

✨ Birthday Appeal Brings 328 Cards for 107-year-old Ethel 😲

When the team at Wood Grange Care Home in launched a card appeal to help one of their much-loved residents celebrate her 107th birthday, they had no idea what an amazing response they would receive.

Ethel celebrated her 107th birthday on April 2nd and after the appeal to the community launched last month, the home has been receiving cards for weeks filled with wonderful birthday wishes.

Everyone was amazed to find that Ethel had received a grand total of 328 cards, far more than the 107 they had originally set out to get for their star resident. All of the cards have been opened, read and are now displayed for Ethel, her family and friends to enjoy.

Ethel is so grateful and cannot thank everyone enough for their very kind wishes! 👏
