Celebrating Making Space's ReachOut+ Programme

Barchester’s Charitable Foundation awarded Making Space a grant to support some of the costs of their pilot group ReachOut+ a mentoring program for young adults with additional needs. An inspiring initiative from this fantastic community arts charity. Over the last 17 years Making Space has delivered hundreds of valuable projects within the local area.

We were delighted to welcome the team to Bere Grove Care Home today, where we had the opportunity to learn more about the valuable work they do in the community and explore how we can support one another and collaborate in the future. Partnerships like this make such a difference in our communities

What an amazing charity Making Space is, we’re so excited to see the positive impact this pilot group will have and to be part of the journey!

Bere Grove Start Planting for a Bumper Crop

Our green-fingered resident Brian, hosted a fantastic gardening activity in our beautifully Orangery. It was a lovely afternoon enjoyed by all. Residents rolled up their sleeves and planted broccoli, tomatoes, carrots and much more. Brian shared his top tips and told residents, they just need to be patient. Once we see green shoots, they will be moved to the potting shed before being planted out in the raised beds once spring arrives, where we expect them to flourish over the months ahead.

A big thank you Brian for sharing your knowledge and for leading a wonderful and engaging activity.

Improving Strength and Flexibility

Today our residents took part in a fantastic exercise session focused on building strength and improving flexibility. With guided movements, gentle stretches, and lots of encouragement, everyone worked at their own pace while staying active and engaged. These sessions not only support physical health, balance, and mobility, but also boost confidence and wellbeing and there were plenty of smiles along the way!

We’re so proud of the effort and enthusiasm shown by everyone who joined in. Staying active together makes it even more enjoyable!

We had such a wonderful evening at our cheese and wine event here at Weystone Manor. We invited our neighbours to the home to thank them for their patience during our build process. It was lovely to meet everyone and show them around Weystone Manor, we cant wait to have them visit again.
