Sue McHoy
My role as activity coordinator at Red Oaks is ensuring that all residents have a full and varied activity program. Using our getting to know me books and knowing our residents backgrounds develop our activity program. Having lived in Henfield for the past 10 years I enjoy assisting residents maintaining and forming new the community connections.
I am passionate about my role, the part is having fun and making people smile.

Life at Red Oaks Care Home
Fun at the Football
Red Oaks Care Home joined in the fun at Henfield FC fun day. Staff from Red Oaks care home took several residents who enjoyed a chat with the chairman and other members of the football club. Afterwards they enjoyed tea, cake and reminisce about the good old days.
There was a presentation to one of the U10’s players with the new ‘Red Oaks Kindess Award’ for always wanting to help others before himself and constantly having a smile on his face.
Red Oaks have also fundraised and purchased a brand new TV for the teams pavilion.
A great day was had by all with new memories made.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
We are so pleased to announce our Red Oaks Macmillan Coffee Morning raised £150.
Residents, relatives and members of the Henfield community enjoyed a morning of fun with coffee and cake sitting in the sunshine in Red Oaks garden.
Andrey was very pleased to have won the extra large bottle of prosecco. Thank you very much to everyone who joined us helping to raise £150.
Art Club
Many of our residents are finding new talent's. We have a great Art Club at Red Oaks and some residents that have never drawn or painted before are finding they have the skill's to enjoy this group. One resident in particular, Doreen, is 100 years old and learning to draw portrait's with our Art Club leader, and although Cynthia's eyesight is poor she has joined our club and is able to see the thick black outlines of pictures that she loves to colour.
Happy Anniversary - 58 year's married
Judy a resident here at Red Oaks was joined by Ron her husband as a respite resident, just in time for us to help them celebrate their 58 wedding anniversary. Ron talked to Judy and our staff so fondly about their wedding day and the years they have been married. The team took great pleasure in making this day special for the couple by decorating their table, buying flower and of course creating that special meal that included a home made cake.
Walking the Walk
Around the world in 60 minutes
Residents and Staff had such a brilliant treat with a Tickled Pink Production of Around the World in 60 minutes.
Joining the captain of the ship we sailed off on a luxury cruise with Tickled Pink's fabulous entertainers. Stopping at exotic ports all over the world, with favourite songs including Viva Espagne, Walk Like an Egyptian, That's Amore and then we all joined the Tickled Pink party and waved our flags as our ship sailed back to good old Blighty
