Celebrating life at Barchester

Mortain Place care home, Eastbourne, were happy to support the Rodmill, one of the The Greene Kings local public houses, after they reached out to the local community requesting empty plastic chocolate sweet and biscuit tubs to be saved and dropped into their pub, supporting their Tub2Pub initiative. The team at Mortain Place got behind this super idea and saved up a total of 157 plastic tubs and delivered them this week to the grateful team at the pub.

The Rodmill are urging customers and members of the local community to bring their clean, empty plastic confectionery and biscuit tubs to participating Greene King pubs from 1^st January until the 15^th February to be recycled.  

Many kerbside recycling collections will not accept these polypropylene tubs, so Tub2Pub is a recycling solution that stops them ending up in landfill. Since Tub2Pub launched, they have helped to divert over 470,000 tubs from landfill and, with the proceeds from recycling the tubs going to their national charity partner, Macmillan Cancer Support, they have raised over £34,000 to help fund vital support for people living with cancer.

Mortain Place care home worked closely with Eastbourne District General Hospital to collect and save as many plastic tubs as possible, to support Greene King’s aspirations for a successful collection for this incredibly worthwhile charity.

 

Residents and families enjoyed a unique and joy-filled Australia Day celebration as Newton House care home hosted an ‘I’m A Celebrity’ themed activity in celebration of Australia Day, bringing the excitement of the jungle to the heart of the community.

The event featured a series of Bushtucker-style trials, fun jungle inspired games, and interactive activities designed to encourage participation, laughter, and connection. Residents enthusiastically took part in the challenges enjoying the fun atmosphere together

The celebration created a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere, promoting wellbeing, social engagement, and shared experiences together.

Come and celebrate the social, economic and political development of women at International Women's Day. There will be refreshments and light bites available.

We were ecstatic to host our latest 'Toast & Roast' - a community event designed to celebrate Sundays with our local community - by hosting them for a complimentary Sunday lunch with all the trimmings, followed by live music. 

It was a full house and everyone stayed to enjoy a special live set from local talent, Jimmy, afterwards which even included a few Scottish songs in honour of Burns Night!  Jimmy was happy to take requests throughout his set and finished with the room's universal request for Frank Sinatra's "My Way".

A fabulous Sunday filled with food, friendship and Frank!

Falmouth Court celebrated its fourth birthday at the weekend with residents, families and staff coming together for a special afternoon of cake and live music.

Marking the milestone with a birthday cake, made by the very talented in-house chef team, and a special live violin performance from Rob, it created a relaxed and joyful atmosphere throughout the home.

The celebration reflects the care home's strong community spirit and its ongoing commitment to enriching the lives of residents in Falmouth. 

We were delighted to welcome a very special visit to our home this week, as a collection of unusual animals came to meet our residents. It was a truly memorable experience, filled with smiles, curiosity, and laughter. Residents enjoyed learning about the different species, gently interacting with them, and sharing stories inspired by the visit. Some of our residents very bravely handled a tarantula! Amongst other animals we also grabbed some cuddles with a meerkat and fed a tortoise!

The session was both relaxing and exciting, offering a wonderful sensory experience for everyone involved. Moments like these create lasting memories and bring something truly different to our daily life. We look forward to welcoming more unique experiences like this in the future.

Here at Westgate House, Baking day is a great day for residents to come together & make their favourite cakes whilst sharing recipes.

Residents at Westgate House had a fab day of entertainment at our local theatre. A great day of laughter & smiles.
