Activities at Leonard Lodge
Our activities team offer a wide range of social events, from the very popular Friday morning bingo, to gentle exercise sessions, skittles, regular animal visits and arts & crafts sessions. We are fortunate to have a team of volunteers who stop by weekly to provide additional support, allowing residents the opportunity for one-to-one sessions. These sessions could include anything, even something as simple as playing a game of Scrabble or just having a cup of tea and a chat. We believe that it is essential to support people in such a way that they are able to continue to live full and happy lives doing the things that they enjoy.
Lynn Amiri
My name is Lynn and I lead the Activities Team here at Leonard Lodge.
Since working at Leonard Lodge I have dedicated myself to ensuring that each of our residents can continue to partake in the hobbies that they have enjoyed for years. It is important that all of the residents here have access to life enriching, fun and social activities.
The whole home supports my team and I to organise activities, events and entertainment tailored to every residents preferences, abilities and needs. Each year we have a fantastically full calendar, and we look forward to the future when we can invite the families of residents to join us in the home again.
I am married with two children and two rather annoying rescue cats. I lived in Italy for a number of years and love all Italian food, especially when somebody else cooks it for me! I love to read, especially crime novels. I am a regular theatre goer with a passion for musicals. I like to sing and dance (albeit badly!).

Life at Leonard Lodge Care Home
Cupcake Decorating
Residents spent the morning making and decorating cupcakes and were then thrilled to discover that reception had been turned into a tea room, where they were seated at beautifully laid tables to enjoy their cakes.
Jack and the Beanstalk
Carousel Productions provided the hilarious end of year entertainment with their production of Jack and The Beanstalk. The residents particularly enjoyed the cows antics when he was being taken off to market.
Christmas Eve Party
On Christmas Eve we held a residents party in reception which was very well attended, the residents particularly enjoyed the Snowball drinks provided by the office staff. Merry Christmas to all!
A visit from Santa Claus
Santa Claus made a visit to Leonard Lodge on Christmas Eve which the residents found highly amusing. Everybody claimed to have been good all year so it was presents for everybody!
Arts and Crafts with Chelmsford College
The residents enjoyed making Christmas arts and crafts with the students from Chelmsford College and we were impressed with their handy work which was put on display around the home.
Christmas Carols
St Josephs school visited us for a carol concert. The residents loved seeing the children and joining in with all the old familiar carols.
