Our New Year's Outing to Bents. ๐ŸŒฟ

New Year's Day called for a trip out, so we popped over to Bents for a browse in the sales.

We ended our outing with tea and cake and enjoyed chatting away with one another.

We all came home happy and that's why these outings matter so much to us.

Happy New Year everyone. ๐Ÿฅฐ

We had such a gorgeous Christmas Day together. ๐ŸŽ„

We spent the morning opening cards and gifts before welcoming loved ones to enjoy Christmas dinner with us.

A huge thank you to our team who worked so hard to make everything run smoothly and to all the families who joined us.

We hope you had as lovely a day as we did. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Christmas letters and shared stories at Shawcross. ๐Ÿ’Œ

Thereโ€™s something really special about watching friendships grow. Earlier this week, residents spent time together sharing favourite Christmas stories and chatting through the afternoon.

We also enjoyed opening Christmas letters written by volunteers at the CGI. Sitting together, reading them aloud and spotting connections made each letter feel personal.

These quiet moments of stories shared, letters read and conversation are what make this time of year feel so meaningful. ๐ŸŽ„

๐ŸŽ„ It's Christmas party season!

We enjoyed a lively afternoon with live music from Gary Hirst, with plenty of dancing, singing along and lots of festive props! Hats, tinsel and big smiles all round in our lounge designed specifically for those living with dementia.

One of those afternoons full of energy, laughter and Christmas fun.

Christmas armchair activities! ๐ŸŽ„

We enjoy spending time together, chatting, laughing and taking part at a pace that feels right.

A calm, festive way to spend the afternoon and enjoy each otherโ€™s company.

What a week of music and connection at Shawcross! ๐ŸŽ„

Carol singing with the Salvation Army then our nursing Christmas party with Ian Unsworth from Music in Mind.

This time of the year is always so meaningful for us all. Our residents have loved every moment.

What a brilliant mix of familiar Christmas songs and favourites for us to sign and dance along to together in the lounge.

A lovely afternoon of music as we fully embrace the festivities here. Thank you Jill for a brilliant performance. ๐ŸŽคโœจ

๐Ÿ“ธ Capturing the Moment.

Weโ€™ve been using a disposable camera to record meaningful moments within our shared home community. Residents, loved ones and our teams were encouraged to take part, shaping an authentic narrative of daily life.

As with all our work, the idea was grounded in research. The nostalgic, sensory experience of winding the film, looking through the viewfinder and pressing the shutter prompts conversation, memory and emotional connection.

This project is a reminder that progress isnโ€™t always digital. Sometimes the most effective approaches are those that slow us down, create presence and invite participation.

The photos will feature on this yearโ€™s Christmas card and be proudly displayed in our home; a clear example of how simple, evidence-informed ideas can help us deliver our purpose.

The joy of live entertainment! ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŽถ

Performances such as these have such a positive effect on all of us. They not only provide an enjoyable and engaging experience but also lift spirits, encourage mental stimulation and are a great opportunity for us to socialise with friends old and new.

Music is also a brilliant way of strengthening our community with joy and laughter. Seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter always makes it worthwhile. ๐ŸŒŸ
