Bere Grove Start Planting for a Bumper Crop
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!
Happy Pancake Day
Happy Pancake Day from all of us at Bere grove. Today was filled with laughter, lovely aromas, and plenty of flipping fun as residents and staff teamed up to try some delicious pancakes. From classic lemon & sugar to fresh fruit toppings, everyone had their favourites. Moments like these remind us how special it is to share simple traditions together. What’s your favourite pancake topping?

Always a pleasure Zoe. Thankyou x

Local Police Team Visits White Lodge
White Lodge was delighted to host the bike marking event for the local Community Police team. Prior to the event, White Lodge raised funds for the bike marking kit through a community fundraising event, demonstrating its commitment to supporting local safety initiatives.
On the day, the officers set up a table in a visible area, making it easy for individuals to find them and take part. Members of the local community came along to have their bikes security marked. While visiting, they also had the opportunity to look around the home and admire the beautiful surroundings.
Residents enjoyed meeting the police officers, learning more about their work, and discussing the valuable service they provide to the community. White Lodge looks forward to working more closely with local charities and community partners in the future.
