Mother's Day Celebrations at Cepen Lodge
Our Residents and their families enjoyed a wonderful Mother’s Day celebration here at Cepen Lodge, marked with a special afternoon tea party filled with delicious treats, laughter and lovely company. The lounge was beautifully set and everyone came together to celebrate the incredible mothers and mother figures in our home.
As a unique surprise our resident ladies were invited to take part in a pearl experience. Each person opened a shell to discover their very own pearl, before choosing a pendant and chain to place it in, creating a beautiful keepsake to remember the day.
The activity brought lots of excitement and smiles, making the celebration even more special. It was a truly memorable afternoon and a lovely way to show appreciation for the wonderful women in our community.

Mothers Day celebrations
Flowers, Families & Fizz for Mother's Day
Many of our resident's family members came today to celebrate Mothering Sunday, a special day for all mothers!
The residents spent a lovely afternoon flower arranging, making some beautiful arrangements to decorate the home. A residents Grandaughter, Stephanie came all the way from Birmingham to visit Lynn and also got involved by helping some of our residents with arranging a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
As a reward their efforts they were treated to a cheeky glass of prosecco and some delicious cup cakes baked in house by our Chef.
Mother's Day Gift of Kindness
We want to give a huge shout-out to Phillip Clegg and the wonderful team at Daniel Robinson & Sons!
Phillip recently dropped off some gorgeous hydrangeas plants for our residents to enjoy. Community support like this means the world to us, and we can’t wait to see these settled into their new home in our garden.
Thank you for thinking of us and for your continued kindness!
Knit and Natter Club
Our residents and volunteers have been busy bees, and it’s so exciting to see these colorful blankets finally taking shape. Every square represents a conversation, a laugh, and a lot of heart.
These will soon be heading off to their new homes to bring a bit of comfort to those who need it most. A big thank you to our volunteers for your help and kindness as always.
Up and Jiving with Heidi
Proof that we're the loudest house on the block!
Our residents don't just "listen" to music, they take over the show. This involved 10% singing, 40% dancing, and 50% wondering where they get all this energy from. Check out the photos for some serious sass and world-class smiles.
We'd tell them to keep it down, but we were too busy joining in the fun.
