Activities at Trinity Manor 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.
Bibesh Shrestha
Hi, My name is Bibesh Shrestha, Activity Coordinator
Having more than 10 years of professional experience in multiple sectors at different places have given me the confidence to get involved in any challenging environment where my skills and experience will be instrumental in achieving personal and social goals.
Being a motivator and influencer to the people around me has always been my passion, and also part of my profession. As an Activity Coordinator, my ultimate goal is to transfer my energy and spread my happiness.
Being active and full of energy with humbleness is what defines me and transferring that energy to the people around me has been my prime interest.

Life at Trinity Manor Care Home
Trinity Manor Appoints Resident Gardening Assistant
Our gardens are often a hive of activity, all of our residents enjoy getting involved with helping us maintain and give ideas to how we can improve. Leading the residents response has always been our Shelia.
Working alongside Sohail, Paul, Phil and the Garden team, Shelia lends a hand and her expert advice. To recognise Shelia’s input we have given her an honorary title of Gardening Assistant and Paul presented her with her badge of which she was thrilled.
A stroll in the Gardens
It was a beautiful day when Bibesh and Kath were able to take a small group to the fantastic Minterne Gardens in Minterne Magna.
Minterne House is the home of the Churchill and Digby families and has been since 1620. Home to the first Sir Winston Churchill, the present House was built in 1905 and still contains the original Churchill tapestries and furniture.
A younger son from Sherborne Castle, Admiral Robert Digby bought the house and valley on a ‘walk-in, walk-out’ basis ensuring everything in the house was retained. Steeped in Naval history, Henry Digby was Captain of the ‘Africa’ during the battle of Trafalgar. Many letters, paintings and prizes from that time are still at Minterne.
Andy and his Accordion
We had the wonderful Andy playing his accordion recently in our beautiful home and what a fantastic afternoon we had.
Andy took us on a journey around the world playing songs from each country. Residents and staff were all singing, clapping along and dancing to the songs.
We always enjoy Andy's performances here at Trinity Manor and look forward to him coming again soon.
Croquet Competition
We recently held an afternoon of Croquet and Pimm’s on our lawn with a group of residents and some of their visitors.
Croquet, the popular outdoor game, played on a lawn or court, with long-handled mallets with which the players hit balls through a series of wickets, or hoops.
We look forward to continuing our games in our garden this summer whilst the weather remains beautiful.
Trinity Manor x Haynes Motor Museum
One of our most recent trips out featured a short drive to the renowned Haynes Motor Museum.
It was John Haynes’ love of motoring and business which formed the essence of the hugely successful Haynes Publishing Group. A collector of cars and most things related to them, John’s ambition to create his own Museum was perhaps inevitable.
The Museum was opened on the 10th of July 1985 by the then Land Speed Record holder Richard Noble OBE. Since then the collection’s international theme expanded as vehicles from around the globe were acquired increasing numbers from a humble 29 to nearly 400 in 30 years; an amazing feat by anyone’s standards.
As you can see we had some very happy residents after this trip!
The Classic Cars return!
The eagerly anticipated second instalment of our popular Classic Car Show didn’t disappoint.
Residents, their families and staff were treated to a fantastically looked after collection of vehicles from Dorchester Classic Vehicle Club, Support from Sherborne Police as well as entertainment from Will Rawlings and Refreshments from Clipper Teas.
We look forward to welcoming you back next year!
