Way Ahead Care

27/01/2026

We’ve had a wonderful few weeks thanks to Age UK running an 8 week creative course at Bowhayes Lodge. 💙

Daniel from Age UK has been an absolute joy to work with, bringing warmth, creativity, and encouragement to every session. Our residents created a beautiful Christmas poster, crafted clay pots from scratch, and last week enjoyed decorating them with their own personal touches. 🎄🎨

As the course comes to an end, we’re so proud of everything our residents have created and grateful for the memories made along the way. A huge thank you to Age UK and Daniel for making it such a meaningful experience!
