Activities at Collingtree Park Care Home

Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as they can, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join in with activities and events as often as they can.

Activities Coordinator

Martin Tilly-Reed

Activities Coordinator

Hello, my name is Martin, I'm the activities coordinator here at Collingtree Park

My role is to ensure that our activities, outings and the entertainment we provide is stimulating and inclusive of all our residents no matter their challenges. It is important to me that our weekly calendar offers enriching experiences with music from live entertainers, visits to various locations outside the home, as well as arts and crafts tailored to individual abilities. 

Getting to know our residents better is so important, and through regular family and friends’ meetings we can gain a greater understanding of their loved ones' interests and life prior to joining Collingtree Park that will make for a richer activities program to be developed. 

I look forward to getting to know you, and your loved ones.

We are always open to new ideas. If you would like to get involved in any of our Life Enrichment activities or have a skill, or project you'd like to share with our residents, please click here  to contact the activities team direct. New entertainers and community links are always welcome.

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

No Mow May!

Letting Nature Bloom – No Mow May at Collingtree Park.

Have you heard of No Mow May? We’re proudly taking part in No Mow May by letting parts of our garden grow wild this month to support local wildlife and pollinators.

By giving the lawnmowers a rest, we’re helping bees, butterflies and other insects thrive – and enjoy the beauty of nature right on our doorstep.

It’s a small step with a big impact for the environment and our residents are loving the chance to see more wildflowers and buzzing visitors in the garden!

We love to shop

Our residents enjoyed a fantastic day out on a shopping trip to local M&S! From browsing the aisles to picking out little treats for themselves and loved ones, the smiles said it all.

Off to the Farm we go!

A Day at the Farm! 

What a moo-velous day we had! Our residents enjoyed a wonderful outing to the local farm, where they met friendly animals, soaked up the sunshine, and even got a taste of the countryside life.

Laughter, fresh air, and a few muddy boots made for a truly memorable afternoon. Huge thanks to the farm staff for their warm welcome and to our team for making it all happen!
