Activities at Lawton Rise 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.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
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

A visit from the ukulele band!
What a joyful day we had with the wonderful ukulele band who came to play for us – and they certainly didn’t disappoint! From the moment they started strumming, the room lit up with toe-tapping tunes, sing-along favourites, and a whole lot of good energy.
Their mix of cheerful classics and feel-good songs had everyone smiling, clapping along, and even having a little dance in their seats. The ukulele has such a warm, happy sound, and paired with the band’s fun, friendly spirit, it made for an afternoon full of laughter, music, and memories.
A huge thank you to the band for sharing their time and talent with us – it was a real treat, and we can’t wait to welcome them back!
Music in the air - a lovely visit from Ben, the pianist.
We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Ben, a wonderfully talented pianist, for a visit – and what a treat it was. As he played, the space came alive with beautiful melodies that brought a real sense of calm and joy.
From soft, gentle pieces to familiar tunes with a personal twist, Ben’s music had everyone smiling, relaxing, and just enjoying the moment. There’s something so special about live piano – it changes the whole feel of a place, and Ben’s playing created such a warm, peaceful atmosphere. It really was one of those moments you want to bottle up and keep.
Thank you so much, Ben – we hope to see (and hear!) you again very soon.
Flowers, friends and good vibes - what a blooming lovely time!
We’re still buzzing from our recent flower arranging session – and what a gorgeous afternoon it was! With buckets full of carnations, sweet Williams, daisies, and gypsophila, we spent a relaxed few hours creating beautiful bunches, sharing laughs, and getting stuck into something creative. Everyone brought their own style – some went soft and delicate, others bold and bright – and every arrangement looked amazing.
It wasn’t just about the flowers (though they were stunning) – it was the chatting, and that lovely feeling of making something by hand. Whether you came along solo or with friends, there was such a warm, feel-good vibe in the room.
Big thank you to everyone who joined us – you made it a truly special day.

World Art Day!
To celebrate World Art Day, our wonderful residents gathered for a delightful afternoon of creativity. They explored the soothing world of watercolour painting, creating breathtaking pieces that capture the essence of Spring.
In addition, they crafted charming Easter-themed cards filled with vibrant colours and heartfelt messages. Each artwork showcases their unique talents and spirit. We are very impressed with their artistic expressions and the joy they bring!
