Activities at Tennyson Wharf Care Home
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.

Our Remembrance Sunday
TENNYSON WHARF RESIDENTS HONOUR THE FALLEN ON REMEMBRANCE DAY
Tennyson Wharf in Lincoln commemorated Remembrance Day on Sunday 14 November. They joined the rest of the United Kingdom in holding a two-minute silence at 11am.
As well as marking Remembrance Day by wearing poppies and watching the televised service from The Cenotaph, residents spent the coming weeks making handknitted poppies, reminiscing and singing all of the favourite war songs.
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
Activity Coordinator, Zoe Sheridon terrified of heights completes Skydive!
WOW! What an amazing achievement, Zoe Sheridon completed her skydive on Sunday 7th November.
A HUGE thank you to everyone that has sponsored! This was not an easy challenge for Zoe because she is petrified of heights but helping others is something she is so passionate about which gave her the courage she needed.
So many people need the crucial mental health support that Mind provide, especially with the effects of the pandemic. The funds raised by Zoe's skydive will allow more people to receive that important help and support.
Residents and staff are looking forward to gathering together in the week to watch the video from the skydive!
