Activities at Edingley Lodge 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.

We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Christmas Jumper Day

All residents and staff at Edingley Lodge  were encouraged to buy, borrow or decorate their own special Christmas jumpers and donate to Save the Children. Some of the residents have been very creative and decorated their own glitzy knitwear with tinsel, stars, baubles and snowflakes. To celebrate the day in true festive style Edingley Lodge welcomed St Michaels church Farnsfield choir group to sing to all the residents. 

Although it is a special time of year for children and adults alike to get into the Christmas spirit, the day is much more about jumpers. Since 2012, Save the Children has organised the day each year to encourage people to raise money to support the charity's mission of helping children facing war, hunger and poverty.
