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.

Life at Tennyson Wharf Care Home
Bingo with Burton Hathow School
Children from Burton Hathow school visited residents and played clock bingo with them. They also sang happy birthday to our Kathleen followed by hugs.
Age On the Stage Final
Our residents did Tennyson Wharf proud by making it to the finals of the Age on the Stage intergenerational talent contest. A big thank you to Burton Hathow school, whose children sang with our residents to make this happen. We will be back next year to hopefully win the title.
Tennyson on Air!
Our resident Peter (aged 95) was taken to BBC Radio Lincolnshire's studio to talk live on air with the Tennyson team about the forthcoming ‘Age on the Stage’ talent show final. Peter and 4 other residents will be singing in the competition. Fingers crossed we win!

Residents had lots of fun at our Valentines workshop. They enjoyed making cards which will be distributed to all our residents (and sender kept secret), so they all receive a little something from their secret admirer.
