We celebrated the Queen’s birthday with a homemade cake that everyone seemed to enjoy.
Meet our Activities Coordinator, Darren Kessna
Hello my name is Darren and I worked on Overslade's domestic team for 3 years. Then I volunteered to assist with activities, and here I am now as the Activities Coordinator.
We carry out activities 7 days a week and myself and the team are very passionate about the activities we provide. There are a variety of activities on offer, including trips out to live performances that all residents and relatives are invited to.
I am always open to new suggestions for activities, so please feel free to have a chat with me and the team.
Activities at Overslade House
Our activities team are dedicated to organise a variety of events and activities and adapt them to suit the abilities of all our residents. Our goal is to improve quality of life by providing activities which are tailored to their personal life history. At Overlade House we encourage local people and businesses to participate as well as our staff and relatives, in order to keep them involved as part of a wider community. We strive to enhance the quality of both mental and physical stimulation. From our weekly mini bus excisions, PAT dogs, quizzes, zumba classes, arm chair line dancing to musical entertainers, pamper sessions or simply having a meaningful conversation, we definitely have something for everyone.
Meet our dedicated team on Saturday 9th June, who can answer any questions you may have about our home.

Life at our home
Royal Celebrations
Easter Celebrations
Our youngest volunteer joined us during the Easter period and provided residents with a chocolate egg each. It was a delight having him here!
St David's Day
We made Welsh cakes and took them around the home for every resident to enjoy with butter or jam, whilst listening to music from Tom Jones and other Welsh artists.
Gemma the Singer
Overslade welcomed the beautiful tones of Gemma and we all had a brilliant time!
Zumba Classes
Here at Overslade House, we keep fit with our Zumba classes. Kirstin keeps us moving with music and gentle exercise. For the less mobile of us, she brings in instruments for then to play along. We all look forward to each lesson.
Eyes Down!
Every week, residents choose to take part in a competitive game of Bingo.
