Activity member Skigh, home manger Charlotte and deputy manager Charrdi pose for a photo opportunity during our Firefighter’s Brunch, hosted at the home as an opportunity for the residents to thank the service for all their hard work as well as ask questions that they had. The Firefighters joined us in the coffee bar for bacon sandwiches, croissants and coffee. Before they left residents were able to go out into the car park and see the fire engines.

Team members and residents were delighted to welcome Yorkshire Coast Morris Dancers to the home who put on a wonderful performance for us to celebrate May Day. Residents joined together in Bronte Suite diner where they enjoyed a brief talk discussing the history of Morris dancing, we then all enjoyed the performance followed by light refreshments over conversation.

Across our services Residents had a wonderful time participating in an interactive virtual talk with Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, where we delved into the rich history of coronations.

During the talk, we explored fascinating topics such as the coronation chair, the crown, and other significant aspects related to King Charles' upcoming coronation. Our residents were thrilled to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the memoirs of past coronations from 1937 and 1953, as well as learning about the coronation oath and what to expect from the ceremony, including the music, guests, and pageantry.

During Easter weekend on the Sunday the activity team hosted an Easter themed dining experience where residents and family members were invited to get together to share a meal over our beautifully decorated dining table. We used craft items created in the weeks leading up to the event to make our event extra special. We enjoyed being together listening to relaxing music and reminiscing over Easter’s gone by. Resident Krystyna and activity member Jess pose for a photo together to remember the day.

This month for our intergenerational baby and toddler group the activity team hosted an Easter Egg hunt in the garden, team members, residents family members, friends and members of the community convened together in our garden for our annual Easter Egg hunt, other activities during the session included a colouring competition, lots of themed snacks and refreshments followed by the children completing the Easter Egg hunt. The older children helped the babies to find some chocolatey treats and the residents loved watching the children playing together.
