Activities at Castle Care Village - Castle Keep

What a fantastic week it has been for everyone here!  Our very own Hull City have secured promotion to the Premier League after a brilliant 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough!

Residents and staff have spent the week preparing for the big match, making posters, decorations and getting into the true Tigers spirit.

With the sun shining and excitement in the air, it was a wonderful atmosphere enjoyed by all.

Residents celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a Mexican-inspired cuisine and music themed day.

It was full of culture and togetherness and everyone had a great time, including taste testing of new foods.

Safe to say… the sombreros were a big hat this year

We have taken a road trip as we’ve celebrated three birthdays, enjoyed trips out to McDonald’s and Hornsea, indulged in plenty of cake and wrapped up today with Barchester’s Beat the Clock challenge.

It has been a busy but fun filled week! 

We had a lovely afternoon when our sister home, Castle Park, kindly arranged for an ice cream van to pay us a visit.

Despite the unpredictable British weather with heavy rain one moment and glorious sunshine the next, we were fortunate to enjoy an hour of sunshine while our residents treated themselves to a delicious ice cream.

There were smiles all around as happy memories of childhood summers came flooding back, making it a truly special occasion for everyone.

Residents across our homes recently joined the team from the Scotch Whisky Experience, a five-star visitor attraction at the top of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, for a fascinating live virtual event.

The session explored the history of distilling whisky in Scotland, the production process and the regional characteristics of single malts.

Residents participating were also able to enjoy a dram of whisky and take part in a Q&A. 

We were delighted to welcome families and community friends to our special coffee morning. We hosted a ‘Time for a Cuppa’ fundraiser in support of families affected by dementia.

Residents, families and staff came together to enjoy a lovely morning of tea, cake and great conversation.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making the event such a success!

We are proud to continue supporting Unity in Community with another food bank donation drop-off.  Their wonderful team provides valuable training, support, and services to local residents in our community.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to donate and support this ongoing effort.  Your kindness really makes a difference to so many people

A bright and early start for another lovely Breakfast Club this morning!  Residents enjoyed delicious egg and mushroom sandwiches which went down an absolute treat, followed by a comforting cup of tea or coffee.

There was also a great selection of cereals and porridge available, something for everyone to enjoy.

We even shared some with our wonderful staff as a small token of appreciation for all their hard work, there was lots of chatter to be heard!
