Some of our wonderful gentlemen enjoyed a cheerful afternoon outdoors, after the grey skies gave way to glorious sunshine. The garden came alive with the sound of laughter and friendly competition as they took part in classic games like lawn darts, ring toss, and a few rounds of boules. It was heartwarming to see the camaraderie, smiles, and shared stories as everyone got involved at their own pace — making the most of the summer warmth and fresh air.

These simple yet meaningful moments are so important in creating joy, encouraging movement, and building connection for those living with dementia. At Whittle Hall, we take pride in creating inclusive, enriching experiences tailored to every individual. Today was a shining example of how the outdoors can lift spirits and bring people together in ways that truly matter.

Here’s what’s coming up next week at Whittle Hall.

As well as our regular Music, Art, and Sport therapy sessions we’ve got garden games, baking, a piano morning, massages and a sensory morning planned in.

The highlight of the week for our rugby league fans will no doubt be Tuesday’s visit from the Warrington Wolves Foundation with their new community initiative called ‘In the shed.’ The team from The foundation will be bringing old matches to watch, lots of memorabilia, and some fascinating stories. There’s also the possibility of a former player dropping by too.

Don’t forget you are more than welcome to join in any of our activities or events when visiting your loved ones. We actively encourage it.

Yee haw! Wow, what a day!

We had a fantastic turn-out at our Country and Western Summer Party today. Thank you to all our residents, relatives, and team members who donned their Stetsons and joined us. Even Daisy the cow got dressed up for the occasion!

Dolly Parton, AKA Carla Palmer, was AMAZING! A real crowd pleaser who got us up on our feet, dancing and singing along. There wasn't a dry eye in the house when Dolly sang ‘I will always love you.’ An emotional song that brought us all together, and was so very touching.

Across the Pond catering put on a fantastic spread of delicious American style food, including burgers and mac-n-cheese. It was washed down with some beers, ciders, and cocktails to really get the feel good atmosphere flowing.

A special thankyou to all the volunteers who helped to prepare and set up for the day. What a fabulous time we all had!

Sports therapy at Whittle Hall was a fantastic success today, with our residents showing incredible enthusiasm and energy throughout the session.

From the moment it began, everyone was fully engaged—taking part in a variety of tailored activities designed to promote movement, coordination, and overall well-being. Whether it was gentle stretching, ball games, or light resistance exercises, each activity was met with smiles, laughter, and a great sense of determination. It was truly heartwarming to see our residents encouraging one another, sharing in the fun, and celebrating each other’s efforts.

These sessions not only help improve physical health, but also boost confidence, support social connection, and create a lively, uplifting atmosphere in the home. We’re so proud of how involved everyone was today and are already looking forward to the next round of sports therapy at Whittle Hall!

Our residents spent a fun-filled afternoon getting creative and hands-on as they prepared some delicious treats ahead of tomorrow’s much-anticipated Country & Western-themed summer party!

Set up in our communal area, the atmosphere was full of laughter, chatter, and excitement as residents came together to make sweet goodies using marshmallows, biscuits, and chocolate.

With everyone gathered around the tables, there was a real sense of teamwork and joy as they shared ideas, helped one another, and added their own personal touches to each treat. From shaping and decorating to carefully assembling the ingredients, our residents poured their heart into every bite-sized creation. This wasn’t just about making food—it was about celebrating community, creativity, and the build-up to a fantastic day of themed fun, music, and dancing. We’re so proud of what they’ve created and can’t wait to enjoy these homemade delights at tomorrow’s Country & Western summer celebration!

Our residents were incredibly engaged — tapping to the beat, sharing memories sparked by familiar tunes, and truly connecting through the power of music. It was a beautiful reminder of how meaningful these moments can be.

Yesterday afternoon we had a sports coaching session with Nic.

Nic creates sessions that are fun, but are carefully designed to deliver real learning outcomes. Whether it’s improving hand-eye coordination, building teamwork, or mastering a passing technique, participants are gaining skills without even realising they’re being coached.

There can be many reasons why people of all ages lose the ability to remain mobile and active – advancing years, illness, or injury to name but a few. Nic transforms people’s confidence, as well as their mental, physical and emotional wellbeing – by adapting games and sports to an individual’s physical ability or cognitive capacity no matter what their environment.

Her programmes are structured around clear learning outcomes, ensuring that every participant—regardless of ability—can experience growth, achievement, and a love of sport.

At the end of the session Trophies are presented to enhance the feeling of acheivement and our residents are always feel very proud of themselves when receiving them.
