Chartwell Manor made the Berryfields News this week with their fabulous work they have been doing for Emmett’s Genies Charity. They helped create Christmas for their year-in-a-day event for critically ill children. Every child received a giant stocking filled with gifts and had the chance to meet Santa and Mrs Claus.

The home has been fundraising throughout the year and so far have raised £700 to support the charity’s amazing work, bringing smiles to the faces of poorly children. 
 

The people living with us at Bowerfield Court celebrated Anti-Bullying day which is a special event organised by the Anti-Bullying alliance group to raise awareness about the negative impacts of bullying, encourage people to stand up against discrimination and promote the importance of individuality. The people that live with us as well as members of staff wore "odd socks" on the day and managed to raise funds destinated to the Anti-bullying alliance. We would like to thank Amy, the resident's representative for arranging it.

Kings Court had a trip to the Swindon Arts Centre to visit their memory cinema. Those that went had a lovely experience! They had tea & coffee on arrival and then went into the cinema to watch ' Who Framed Rodger Rabbit'. This is something they offer once a month at the Arts Centre, next month is ' The Railway Children'.

Everyone came together at Allingham House to enjoy a great fundraising coffee morning to raise money for Children in Need. It was the perfect opportunity to enjoy singing and dancing, whilst we had tea, coffee, and nibbles.

Chartwell Manor put on a lovely poppy display in their home to pay their respects on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. It featured lots of meaningful items, and a jar for collections towards The Poppy Appeal.

 

Lest we forget. 

The people living with us at Rosedale spent their day creating poppy artwork in preparation for Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.

This weekend sees many untie together across faiths, cultures, and backgrounds to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

Coplands care home celebrated Black History Month this week. Staff and some of the people living with us joined together for a celebration. There was a delicious buffet on offer for everyone to enjoy and decorations around the home. Everyone spoke about Black History and what it means to them.

Minster Grange had an amazing Halloween party. Colleagues, the people living with us, and family and friends all attended to celebrate the night. There was a lovely buffet from the kitchen and some tasty cakes. After, pumpkin carving took place, followed by a Halloween film in the lounge with a glass of wine. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a good night.

The Wharf had a magical day out on The Severn Valley Railway. The people living with us had a great time on the train. We stopped off at Highly Station and strolled to The Engine House Museum and restaurant. In the Engine House there were lots of stalls to take a look at, selling lots of lovely products. We would like to say thank you to Peter and his family for getting us tickets to attend.

Princess Lodge had a great day celebrating Japanese culture. Colleagues and the people living with us dressed in traditional clothing and the kitchen team cooked a brilliant Japanese meal. This included chicken katsu curry and Japanese fluffy cheesecakes. The day also involved learning all about Japan’s culture which was very interesting.
