Some Retail Therapy

A little retail therapy was in order this weekend, when our ladies and gents popped out to the local shops.

At the end of a successful shopping trip, we decided to take full advantage of a local coffee shop for a catch up, some cake and a comparison of who had bought what.

Healthy Heart Event

We recently hosted a healthy heart event with the fabulous Team Medic.

We welcomed members of the local community in to our home to learn about finding and using a defibrillator, they also gave a CPR demo.

The event was designed to up-skill those who wanted it, to be able to support someone if a cardiac situation arose. People also enjoyed some delicious healthy refreshments and gained more information and support from Diane at Heartbeat Support, Woking.

Thank you to everyone who attended!

White Lodge was delighted to host a special International Women’s Day Afternoon Tea to celebrate the incredible women of White Lodge and the wider community.
We were honoured to welcome some wonderful guests, including Mandy and Rae from Swindon 105.5 Radio, Monique from Wiltshire Police, Jane Sims from Senior Games, and Marion and Jenny from the Purton community. They joined us in celebrating the day and sharing their inspiring stories with residents and families.
Our talented chef prepared a delicious selection of treats including freshly made sandwiches, Scotch eggs, cherry Bakewell bonbons, chocolate brownies, and of course plenty of tea to go around.
It was a lovely afternoon filled with conversation, inspiration, and celebration of the amazing women who make our community so special.

A Very Special 100th Birthday Celebration at White Lodge!

White Lodge was delighted to celebrate the 100th birthday of one of our residents in the way she wished. The White Lodge team and her family came together to organise a truly spectacular celebration. She received a very special birthday card from His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen, along with countless lovely cards from her family, friends, and staff.
Our lovely celebrant enjoyed a wonderful mini concert featuring all her favourite songs from the 1960s, bringing back many happy memories. Her family also created a beautiful photo collage capturing her incredible 100 years of life and memories.
Our chef prepared a stunning birthday cake in her favourite flavours, beautifully decorated for the occasion. Birthday girl was absolutely over the moon when she saw the amazing cake.
To make her birthday even more special, the team made one of her wishes come true by taking her to play snooker at Hollywood Bowl. Snooker is her absolute favourite sport, and she has always loved watching it on TV. This was her very first time playing, and the experience made her incredibly happy.
She shared her gratitude, saying:
“What you arranged was wonderful. I never thought you would do all this for me. Thank you so much.”

Fosseway Garden Centre

We enjoyed a lovely trip out to Fosseway Garden Centre

We headed there for a spot of lunch and, as always, it didn’t disappoint! A delicious meal, plenty of chats and lots of smiles all round.

After lunch we had a wander around the plants – so many beautiful colours and spring blooms to admire. It’s always such a joy strolling through the garden centre, taking our time and picking out our favourites.
