Residents, staff and guests celebrated the treasured author with a Chocolate Factory themed day. All residents received their own Wonka Bar, complete with golden ticket as they entered the lounge, which had been transformed in to our own version of the beloved chocolate factory. Sweets and treats were on offer from the Oompa Loompas who also visited all of the rooms), and we watched the classic favourite Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.

We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas.  The experience was truly enjoyed by all.

Residents enjoyed an al fresco picnic in celebration of American Independence Day. Lunch consisted of cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, coleslaw and crisps. For afters, we had ice cream and American apple pies. Residents enjoyed the change in meal choice very much and also the decorated gazebo. The festivities were topped off with sparklers.

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.

Residents were treated to a singalong to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.

Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.

We have been having great fun in the sun as the weather has been so lovely lately! This has led to trips out in the mini bus for ice cream and reminiscence by the sea as well as a lovely picnic in the garden for National Beer Day.
