Activities at Cadbury Hall Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Hannah Lewis
Hi, my name is Hannah and I am the Activities Coordinator at Cadbury Hall.
I studied ‘Creative Expressive Arts, Health and Wellbeing’ at university and am passionate about using the arts to aid people’s social, physical, and mental wellbeing. In my spare time I love to dance, sing, and act, and help to run a local drama group for children aged 10-18.
With the support of all staff at Cadbury Hall and feedback from residents, we aim for a varied and person-centred activity schedule to help the residents lead rich and fulfilling lives. The best part of my day is seeing the residents get stuck in with the activities and looking at the smiles on their faces.
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

A Special Visit from the Sirona Falls Prevention Team
We had the privilege of hosting the Falls Prevention Team from Sirona at Cadbury Hall. It was an enlightening experience as we were introduced to the 'Step Today Exercise Programme' (STEP).
Participants enjoyed an engaging session where we learned how to perform various exercises aimed at increasing strength and balance, particularly for those who may find it challenging to get out and about. The STEP program is specifically designed for individuals at risk of falls and those who are becoming less active.
Did you know that one in three people over 65 and half of people over 80 experience a fall each year? The risk of falling increases as we age. Fortunately, research indicates that simple lifestyle changes can significantly prevent falls, enhance independence, and ultimately improve our quality of life.
At Cadbury Hall, we are committed to implementing the principles of this program into our exercise offerings, ensuring a balance of fun and fitness. Our goal is to empower our community, making every step a step towards greater confidence and safety.

Cheddar Gorge in the April Sunshine
Monday morning, residents of Cadbury Hall had the pleasure of enjoying coffee in the picturesque village of Cheddar, followed by a guided minibus tour of the stunning Cheddar Gorge. The group set out on a delightful adventure, seeking to spot the local goats amidst the breath taking scenery.
The weather was splendid, and the April sunshine provided a perfect backdrop for our outing. Although we did not encounter any goats during our excursion, the residents thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to engage in lively discussions about the beauty of Cheddar and its surroundings.
At Cadbury Hall, we prioritize the well-being of our residents by organising weekly minibus outings to promote social interaction and fresh air.
