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.
Martin Tilly-Reed
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
Life at Collingtree Park Care Home
Santa's Little Helpers
Collingtree Parks little helpers have started decorating - although Pam and Andy may have been slightly distracted!
Getting Fit for Christmas
Keeping fit with music and movement on memory lane! Our residents enjoyed singing and clapping along to their favourite songs and enjoying a warm cup of tea in the lounge this afternoon. Sunshine and smiles, just what the doctor ordered.
Happy birthday Isabella!
On her birthday, Isabella enjoyed a wonderful, pretty and pink cake by chef Tamara - just how Isabella likes it. She also enjoyed a visit from her daughter, cards cakes and flowers. We all enjoyed singing Happy Birthday and sharing a piece of cake with our afternoon tea.

Zing Entertains
We had a fabulous afternoon with Zing Entertainment yesterday in the Bluebell lounge. Singing classics from the 1940's and 50's era, our residents sang every word. Thank you Carole and Peter, we look forward to seeing you next week for the Festive season!
World Children's Day
As you will know, we celebrated BBC Children in Need last week, with residents making lots of lovely crafts, and dressing up brightly to recognise the work of this amazing charity.
As well as this, lots of our residents enjoyed visits from their children, grandchildren, and great-grand children over the weekend too! One of these residents was Jean, pictured with her daughter, grandchild and TWO great grand-children!
