Odiham Food Fayre!

We had a fantastic day on Bank Holiday Monday at the Odiham Food Fayre, raising money for St Michael's Hospice (North Hampshire). What a fabulous turn out, it was fantastic to see such great support for the event. We are delighted to have raised just over £300 for the hospice today, so a massive thank you to everyone that stopped to say 'hi', bought our tasty granola and entered our raffle. Big thanks also to inOdiham for having us. We have a few bags of granola left, so do pop by Whitewater Place this week to pick up a bag before it's gone!

Monthly Pudding Club - You're Invited!

On the Last Friday of every month at 3pm, we open up our doors to showcase the wonderful expertise of our Head Chef John and his team. John and his team spend days preparing the right menu before this occasion, to ensure that all who attend get to taste the best puddings that Ashchurch View has to offer. Residents of Ashchurch get to enjoy a variety of puddings on a daily basis, we like to give others the opportunity to taste some of the beautifully baked goods that are homemade in our Kitchen. If you're considering residential care for a loved one, and want to give them an idea of what they can expect, then give us a call to book a space.

Nostalgic visit to Duxford

We recently enjoyed a nostalgic journey back in time during a visit to the Imperial War Museum Duxford and what a fantastic day we had!

We took our minibus and had a fun-filled day exploring the museum. Nigel got to see his beloved Spitfire and everyone remembered Sally B & Concorde to name a few.

Speaking of the visit, John said: “It bought back many memories for him & he wouldn’t be able to get to sleep this evening as he'll be lying awake thinking of his day".

Our residents had a great time and we all agreed that we would be visiting again!

Blooming Marvellous at Moors Manor

What a beautiful afternoon we’ve had at Moors Manor with our flower arranging activity!

Our residents had so much fun getting creative, choosing their favourite flowers and putting together some gorgeous arrangements. There were plenty of smiles, laughter and beautiful blooms to brighten up the home!

It was lovely to see everyone getting involved, sharing ideas and enjoying time together. These afternoons are all about having fun, being creative and, most importantly, making wonderful memories together.

Happy Anniversary to James and Margaret
