Activities at Spen Court Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Angela Blackburn
My name is Angela and I am the Head Activities Coordinator here at Spen Court. I get so much satisfaction out of knowing I have made a difference to people’s days and have filled the home with a sense of community and happiness.
We feel it is important to build community connections and maintain our resident’s social interaction outside the care home.
We ensure we deliver a person-centered program of events and activities and build strong relationships with our residents, their families and friends.

Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.
Everyone truly enjoyed the experience.
A little friendly competition
Here at Spen Court, residents thoroughly enjoy playing a variety of games -from board games such as draughts to jigsaw puzzles as they keep the brain active and engaged.
Sometimes there is also a little friendly competitiveness on show always bringing laughter and chat to these popular sessions.
Paper flowers!
We love to show our creative flair and our regular arts and craft sessions, on this occasion we enjoyed an art session with Lily making some wonderful and colourful paper flowers.
One resident, Bob remarked “the flowers made a great hat!
