We would like to thank Nottingham City Transport for their hospitality today for our service user Rob!
It has been Rob's dream to become a bus driver. Once he seen that Nottingham City Transport had job openings for a trainee bus driver, he sent in his CV for the job!

Nottingham City Transport, after reviewing his CV, invited him in for a tour of the depot. Rob loved sitting in the drivers cabin and looking around the all the buses!

A huge thank you from the staff team, Rob and his family to everyone at NCT for making today so special for him. He is already asking when he can come back!

Day 3 of Naughty Elf on a shelf, day vs night staff edition!

Night staff located Elf in a bunch of poppies (sorry photo not been taken) then he was placed in a Christmas reef on the wall!

Courtney found him early this morning and moved him to monitor our call bells. When I walked in, I trusted he would ensure service users were seen promptly.

Support workers Jodie and Angela have hidden him for tonight. He may just be wishing to go to the North Pole!

Good luck tonight! He is in a difficult spot!

Aim of the game: staff on shift need to find elf and hide him in a new spot before the next shift starts!

Yesterday service user Muriel and Support Worker Natalie hid Elf behind a Christmas tree for the night shift. Night Team Leader Shelley struggled to find him... however at 6am this morning she found him sleeping away in the tree and hid it for the day staff!

Nurse Sadie noticed his new spot right away however did not give up his new Tarzan past time to the rest of the team. At lunch today, support worker Angela and Jodie along with service user Rob found him and hid him ready for the tonight's night shift team!

With the help of the residents, staff on duty need to find the Elf and move him before the shift ends! Then the next shift need to find him and move him before the next shift starts.

Last night staff member Rita found Elf straight away to get the game going. It did not take day staff member Courtney long to find him swinging on a lamp!

Being that Goose Fair has been cancelled this year... we brought the fair to Holme Lodge! We had games such as penalty shoot out, a coconut shy with nerf guns, hook a duck, ring toss, tin can alley and pin the beak on the goose.
We also had an array of fair food! Hotdogs, burgers, coconut ice, doughnuts and candy floss!
Both the games and the food went down like a storm! We even had our very own 'Goosey' made by a member of staff!

With thanks to National Lottery Heritage Fund for their funding and Southwell Minster and Nicky Rafferty Storytelling we had a great time last Tuesday.

Storyteller, Nicky Rafferty, came to visit us and told stories that were inspired by the carvings in the Leaves of Southwell at Southwell Minster. The residents participated in the telling with actions and sound effects and at the end of the session some of them suggested to Nicky other stories that would fit the theme that they’d love to hear when she visits again on the 2nd.
