Activities at Emily Jackson

Our activities team continues to offer a wide range of activities to both mentally and physically stimulate our residents. Our activities include one to one shopping, group outings in our minibus, and regularly attending our local church and bowling club. We also enjoy the entertainment from the musicians who come and visit us as well as our PAT dog. We have a range of activities so residents with all abilities and talents can join in activities and social gatherings. We encourage families and volunteers to share the joy with us by taking part in our social events as well.

National Volunteer’s Week

At Emily Jackson House we have so many willing and generous volunteers and students. Chris, pictured, has been volunteering with us for many years and has now become a very good friend to many of our residents and staff. Chris is currently not visiting the home, due to lockdown, which is making her and the residents very sad, as they miss one another. Chris usually visits twice a week, so it is a big impact to the normal routine when she is not coming in as normal.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to Chris for everything she has done for the home and the residents. Chris you are one in a million, we are eternally grateful to your contributions to the residents wellbeing. We delivered Chris a gorgeous potted Lily plant, a box of chocolates and hand-written card to express our thanks. Chris was so pleased to see our activities lead, it was a great short reunion after several months! All of the staff and residents at Emily Jackson House are looking forward to Chris coming back, and all of our other wonderful volunteers and students; thank you to you all.
