This week Claremont Manor welcomed 'Little Gems Childcare' into their home. Gemma, Sarah and the 6 little ones were a joy and the people living at Claremont Manor adored spending time with them. Together they painted pebbles and enjoyed some refreshments. Social connections across generations, through meaningful and engaged activities, can help to tackle feelings of loneliness, social isolation and improve wellbeing. They are looking forward to seeing them again soon and strengthening those connections!

What a wonderful day at Lace Hill's Summer Fete!
There was an amazing turnout, with lots of guests coming together to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. The grounds were buzzing with activity, from the colourful stalls offering a variety of treats and treasures. Laughter echoed throughout the home as families and friends reconnected. The talented entertainer kept everyone smiling, engaged and happy.

Some of the people living at Windsor Court took a short minibus ride up the hill to The Priory last week to see members of the English Symphony Orchestra wind section perform a relaxed concert, as part of the Elgar Festival. Everyone greatly enjoyed hearing such beautiful music, in a gorgeous setting, so close to their home.
