Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Jess Bruford

Activities Coordinator

Hi, My name is Jess and I am Activities Coordinator here at Springvale Court. I am delighted to join the team, joining in December 2023 but I have found my feet with ease. I spend time getting to know all of our residents and this helps me to arrange meaningful activities based on individual likes and interests. I love spending time with our residents, be it chatting one to one, small reminiscing groups or large group activities.

I am looking forward to learning and growing with Barchester and I am always open to any ideas for new and different activities so please stop and chat with me.

Easter celebrations

We hope you had a hoppy Easter!

We celebrated Easter in style with a whole host of themed activities and egg-cellent entertainment. Our residents enjoyed and special visit from our Easter bunny. We also welcomed our little friends for an interactive and fun easter bonnet arts and crafts afternoon.

In recognition of the day, our talented chef prepared a delicious feast for all to enjoy, as always, we had an amazing time.

Inside the Factory

We had a brilliant time across our services with Harrogate Skills 4 Living as they took us on a wonderful virtual visit to their Harrogate Chocolate Factory.

Residents were thrilled to discover details about the chocolate-making process and the fascinating journey from bean to bar, all while enjoying some delicious sweet treats.

The Factory aims to employ people with learning disabilities and autism, involving them in all parts of the process, from sorting and roasting the beans to packaging and sales. The experience was truly enjoyed by all who joined this event.

Beat the Clock

We continue to celebrate a varied life enrichment programme and across our services we linked up with other Barchester care homes and hospitals up and down the country for some interactive Beat the Clock games.

Our residents truly enjoyed solving word puzzles, conundrums and mathematical problems as part of Barchester’s very own game show series.

Everyone who joined had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.

Comic Relief

To support Red Nose Day campaign and their mission to end child poverty, we got involved in a fun-filled fundraising activities.

Through the power of entertainment and laughter, we raised awareness and life-changing funds for the children that need support the most.

Our residents enjoyed putting on red noses, watching a compilation of funny sketches and baking delicious treats in support of the lovely charity and an afternoon of Karaoke raising the roof with their singing!

Pool and a pint!

It is important for our residents to remain a part of their local community and as part of our life enrichment we are always looking at ways in which we can achieve this. This week we were delighted to take resident, David to the homes local social club for a game of pool and a lovely cold pint of Guinness. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon chatting, playing (a little friendly competition) and whilst Jess won the game David insisted that he had let her win! We are looking forward to a re-match and good luck David for next time!

Finding joy in every stitch

Helen was a keen knitter before she arrived here at Springvale and asked our Activities Co-ordinator Jess if she could help with getting her some wool and knitting needles, Jess quickly got to work and surprised Helen, she was thrilled and thought the choice of wool was beautiful.

Jess explained that we have a knit and natter club she could attend and she was over the moon, she said “I have always loved to knit, I thought I may have forgotten but as soon as I picked my needles up it came to me, I will definitely be a member of the knitting club”
