Tea Party & Quiz
At Westgate House we encourage social stimulation with our residents, and what better way to have a get together than to have a delicious tea party.
Veterans Tea Party Event
A fabulous afternoon at Leonard Lodge paying tribute to our veterans. Mayor of Brentwood, Cllr Jay Laplain also paid us a visit and was a huge hit with our local community & residents, he even treated us by singing a song! Thanks again to everyone that attended and making it a special afternoon.
International Men’s Day Celebrations at Moreton Hill
At Moreton Hill, we were delighted to mark International Men’s Day with a special afternoon dedicated to our wonderful gents. To celebrate, the team hosted a relaxed pub-themed event in our TV lounge, creating the perfect setting for conversation, laughter and reminiscing. Residents enjoyed a friendly pub quiz, shared their favourite stories, and even rounded off the afternoon with a well-earned pint. It was lovely to see everyone engaging and enjoying the occasion together.
November is also International Men’s Health Month, an important time to recognise the value of supporting men’s wellbeing—physically, mentally and socially. Events like these not only bring joy but also encourage connection, friendship and a sense of community, all of which are essential to maintaining good health.
We look forward to hosting more meaningful and enjoyable activities throughout the month and beyond.
A Lovely Visit to Stansted
A special delivery
We received a very special delivery today courtesy of Steph from Wild About Huntingdon.
She has so kindly donated a beautiful range of wildlife homes — including bird houses, bird feeders, a hedgehog home, and even cosy habitats for bees and ladybirds.
We’ll be placing them around the garden over the next few days and can’t wait to see which visitors arrive to enjoy their new spaces.
Thank you so much, Steph!
What a pawsitively wonderful afternoon at our very first Bark & Brew doggy café yesterday! 🐾☕️
A huge thank you to the fabulous owners - and of course our star pups Honey, Dora, Polly, Monty, Fred & Joey - for bringing their waggy charm to Farley Gardens.
Between the puppycinos, doggy “masterpieces,” and delicious homemade biscuits baked by our talented residents, the day was nothing short of fur-tastic! 🎨🍪🐶
We were thrilled to be joined by the lovely ladies from Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre, who we are proud to support through our fundraising. Although our dog café is free, donations are always warmly welcomed. 💛
We can’t wait to make this a monthly event… because good times are always better when they’re shared with furry friends! 🐕💕
