Activities at North Park Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!
Claire Liddy
Hi, my name is Claire, and I am Lead Activities Coordinator at North Park. I have 15 years’ experience in the role, three years at North Park and absolutely love my job. I like to involve the local community in events within the home, so we have connections with local churches, schools and community groups. We have a PAT dog that visits weekly, so our residents can enjoy pet therapy, and lots of external entertainers, who come into the home regularly as well; in addition to fairs, monthly coffee morning and so much more.

Life at North Park Care Home
Shildon Steam Museum
We recently attended the Shildon Steam Museum. Residents really enjoyed look at the old train, and they had so many stories to tell! They had smiles on their faces all day and were still talking about the trip well into the following day.
Garden Day
We hosted a garden day recently; everyone had lots of fun in the garden with some great food and fresh drinks.
Out & About
We enjoyed a day trip to South Park recently. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and loved looking at the ducks in the pond. Residents also loved talking to other people in the park.
Thrilling Grilling
We hosted a big BBQ recently a everyone had a great time. The sun was shining and the food was excellent. Loved ones joined us and we received lots of positive feedback from all who attended.
Horsin' Around
Our Carer/Activities Coordinator has a horse called Caz. He is always telling the residents about him so, naturally, they wanted to meet him. Adam brought Caz in and residents enjoyed stroking him and feeding him mints.
A Tipple or Two
During our pub afternoon, we set our lounge up as bar, where we play music, serve drinks & snacks, and generally have a good time.
