Our residents had an absolutely fantastic time at the Golf Memories session hosted at Noah’s Ark, filled with smiles, swinging clubs, and shared stories. It was more than just a day on the range; it was a celebration of connection, community, and a love for the game.

Golf Memories is an innovative partnership between Perth and Kinross Council and Sports Heritage Scotland, aimed at enriching lives through sport, storytelling, and shared experiences. This collaboration continues to create opportunities for reminiscence and meaningful engagement for older adults across Perthshire.

From reminiscing about old golfing adventures to practicing their putts, the atmosphere was heartwarming from start to finish.

A huge thank you to Niall and the incredible team for the warm welcome and thoughtful planning that made everyone feel truly valued. Your kindness and dedication created lasting memories, we’re already looking forward to the next visit!

Here’s to moments that matter, friendships that grow, and activities that make everyone feel included.

🐝🍯 What a Buzz! 🐝🍯

As part of our Live Virtual Events programme, residents and patients across the country enjoyed a fascinating virtual talk yesterday, led by expert beekeeper Julia Young, on The Wonderful World of Bees.

Everyone was absolutely captivated by her stories – from the intricate waggle dance to the royal drama of bee regicide. Who knew the life of a honeybee could be so exciting?

It was a great opportunity to learn more about nature, hives and the extraordinary teamwork of bees.

To make things even more exciting, the talented chefs at our homes prepared delicious themed treats and refreshments - including honey sandwiches, honey flapjacks and tea sweetened with local honey.

Thank you, Julia! 👏
