Activities at Mallard Court Care Home

Staff and residents at the home marked World Parkinson's Day, which takes place on the 11th April. 

For this, the home welcomed the local Parkinson's UK branch for a special edition of the home's regular support café.

The group and residents spoke about how Parkinson’s has affected their lives and how they support one another. Homemade cakes and refreshments were on offer, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

We had a delightful time together this morning at the Bridlington Club for Young People. This is an excellent venue, and we were all very impressed with it. It was the community meeting of the local Parkinson's Support Group, held at the club every month.

Sue and David Radford, who are Parkinson's UK volunteers, organize these wonderful sessions for everyone to enjoy. Special guests Sam and Kim from the local police force gave us a brilliant insight into what is being done in our community and provided very helpful advice.

We are having a fabulous time this morning, here at The Clubhouse at Bridlington Rugby Club.  It is Saint Catherine's Bridlington Support Group Coffee Morning, raising funds in aid of Saint Catherine's and what a lovely atmosphere.     

The venue is very well attended with a variety of stalls and delicious refreshments including scones with a cuppa!  We look forward to the next event, and wish to say a big thank you for the invitation.

Staff and residents at Mallard Court care home in Bridlington have invited neighbours and friends from the local community to their free monthly cancer support coffee morning.

Members of the café spoke candidly and bravely about their experiences of cancer and how it touched them, Patricia a resident at the home said “I lost my Mum to cancer when she was 50 years old, it was no age to lose your Mum, from there I became a Macmillan volunteer at Bridlington and also Scarborough hospital offering support to others, it’s so important that people realize support is out there”

Betty another resident has endured skin cancer 3 times and said “it’s so important to accept help and support and to never suffer on your own”

On Thursday 13th March at 2.30pm, residents and members of the community are looking forward to welcoming members of the local police force to join the home at the Mallard Court Care Home for their ‘Coffee with a Coppa’ event.  PCSO Len and PC Tricia will speak to the audience about their own career paths, why they wished to join the force and talk to the group about the latest goings-on from within the town, before taking questions from those in attendance.

Ange Dooley-Widd, the General Manager has extended the invitation throughout the local area, stating that “to say thank you for all the great work our emergency services do for us, we here at Mallard Court Care Home are inviting all members of the police, ambulance and fire services to pop in and take their duty break on us for free.
 

General Manager Ange Dooley-Widd and the team at Mallard Court are delighted to celebrate their young volunteer, Grace, who is just 11 years old. Grace's regular visits bring immense joy to all the residents.

Activity Coordinator Tracy presented Grace with a special Mallard Court Volunteer certificate to acknowledge her hard work and dedication. The celebration was dedicated to recognizing not only Grace but also the incredible efforts of volunteers who go above and beyond for our residents and in the wider community. They provide invaluable assistance by engaging in life enrichment activities, and offering meaningful companionship that our residents deeply appreciate. It was the perfect opportunity to express our gratitude for their outstanding contributions.
