Being based in the The Strand Community Centre, we see the amazing work that the local food bank does for the community and we as an organisation wanted to support them with a much-needed donation. We also wanted to say a specific thank you to Marie, not only for all her hard work but for her friendship to us since starting at the Strand.

In response to our residents wishes, our care home embarked on a remarkable journey to the seaside. With the full support of our dedicated team, we made it happen! 🌟

Despite the travel time of over an hour, the joy and happiness on our residents' faces made every minute worth it. This seaside adventure not only brought smiles but also had a significant impact on their overall wellbeing. 🏖️❤️

Peter from Lace Hill Manor has had a love for gliders since he was 15, so recently we organised to take him out to Bicester Motorglide. 

With the help of Lee from Motorglide, Peter had a lovely afternoon. He could name the gliders and tell us all about them, and he took his photo album and went through it with Lee and Paul, they were happy to listen to Peters story’s about how many flight hours he has done and the height he used to get to.

ODE TO NURSES

 

Nurses working night and day

Understanding your pain

Respecting your feelings

The people living with us enjoyed making cards to give to our Nurses on International Nurses Day.

To celebrate the day, we had a lovely party, buffet and refreshments. Everyone had a brilliant time. 

The people living with us enjoyed a fantastic tea party to celebrate The King's Coronation. 

We had a buffet and had a drink of Baileys and Buck Fizz to celebrate the day. The people living with us had a good sing song and said that they had a lovely time. They asked if we could do this every week! 

The people living with us were also given a present to celebrate The Coronation. 

To celebrate The King's Coronation over the weekend, we had a three day event. 

We had a buffet on the Saturday, a big party all day on the Sunday and a Royal party on the Monday. We had live music, a raffle, a BBQ and lots of cake. We also had our own Gold Carriage to take photos in. As well, our Woodland Mascot came to visit and we raised some money for charity.
