Our activities coordinators are committed to organising a variety of activities that reflect the interests and capabilities for everybody we support ensuring a person centred approach.

The team have a flexible approach to our programme and we are constantly reviewing and updating our programmes to ensure we cater for everyone's needs and varied abilities.

The activities programme includes regular trips utilising the homes minibus, these include a number of destinations of local interest. We are particularly proud of the relationship we have built with Peterborough Sailability. This registered charity offers the opportunities to those with restricted mobility to enjoy the thrill of sailing on the open water and the sense of independence that brings in specially adapted boats.

Involvement in the local community is something that the whole team are very passionate about and we provide regular visits to a number of different facilities including local schools and churches. These activities also extend too visits from "Pat dogs" and local entertainers to aid in our ongoing quest to give each individual as much support and stimulation as they require.

Peterborough Lions

We had the greatest pleasure of welcoming the Peterborough Lions to our home. They entertained us with a lovely selection of carols and Christmas songs along with stories that made us laugh. It was so lovely for our residents and families, we all joined in with the singing and enjoyed warmed mulled wine and mince pies.

Christmas Carols

This afternoon our residents gathered in our conservatory to sing Christmas carols , and one of our family members done a beautiful reading, it was a lovely afternoon

Christmas Service

It was lovely to have a festive church service this morning, here at Longueville Court. It was truly lovely, as we celebrated the birth of our saviour, with a mix of readings, carols and prayers. I'm sure it brought back memories of nativities, family get together and the true meaning of Christmas, to us all.
