Meet our Activities Coordinators, Shelbie Taylor & Suzanne Scholfield
We all know that keeping active is important. We have created a wonderful culture within the home and we work together to give residents the best possible experience. We are here to ensure that residents enjoy an environment that is both stimulating and socially active. We ensure the team knows each residents' preferences, so that we can deliver a person-centered program of events and activities. Essential to our homely feel is the strong relationships of trust we build with residents and their families and friends. The home also has its very own minibus for our numerous outings for coffee and shopping, which residents love.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

Residents tour the wonderful world of wine!
Residents had a lovely time joining Hospitality Manager, Christophe Noel and special guests Lee Isaacs DipWSET and Nick Parker from Unity Wines and Spirits – as they introduced us to wine tasting techniques, the history of wine and wine making, as well as consumer attitudes.
Residents had the opportunity to try a variety of wines from sparkling and white to rose and red, alongside a selection of delicious cheeses.
It was a wonderful experience, enjoyed by all.

Harvest Festival preparations in full swing
We've had a wonderful afternoon as we start getting ready for the the upcoming Harvest Festival.
We started talking in the home about the practices our residents had in place in the local communities and schools.
One of our residents, Joan spoke about basket weaving and the baskets that were created to donate food supplies to those less fortunate. She showed off her creative skills and had a go with some paper to make her own basket.
It was a fun filled afternoon and we look forward to more preparations for the Harvest Festival.
