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

Activities Coordinator

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.

Activities and Events Partnerships

As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

Porter Dodson's Legacy Event

Thank you to all who joined us for our Planning for Later Life and Legacy evening, with local solicitors from Porter Dodson.

Their informative session covered legal and practical advice, along with guidance on wills, power of attorney and trust planning.

There was an opportunity to ask questions and discuss any queries after the presentation. A big thank you to Sarah Stone and Tom Mottram for their time and expertise.

International Nurse's Day

We couldn’t be more thankful to the amazing team of nurses who support us here at Trinity Manor. Regular visits from Sherborne District Nursing Team, and the Community Mental Health Nurses to both support our residents and empower our staff. 

To show our appreciation, Senior General Manager, Sohail, and Deputy Manager, Paul, presented tokens of our thanks to representatives from each team.

VE Day 80th anniversary celebrations!

This year marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, and we commemorated this historic occasion with an afternoon full of music, memories, and community spirit.

Featuring live entertainment from The D-Day Dollies, bringing the sounds of the 1940s to life with their vintage vocals and wartime charm! As well as an emotional evening parade by the Sherborne Air Cadet Squadron. 

Residents enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch as we came together to remember and honour those who served and sacrificed for peace in Europe.

Spring Clean

The Great Spring Clean, something which we are all either doing or have done already this year. Our residents reminisced with Jan Millward poetry, about the traditional techniques and products that they would be familiar with, which evoked many wonderful memories for all who came along!

Jan’s sessions always encourage everyone to share special memories and anecdotes from way back when. Thank you to all who joined us, but special thanks to the wonderful Jan for another great session.

Easter Bonnets

To help celebrate Easter, our group of crafters fashioned their own Easter Bonnets, and then tried them on for size. Even the staff were intrigued and inspired as well! 

Easter bonnets are a colourful tradition associated with Easter celebrations, symbolising new beginnings and renewal, particularly in the Christian faith. They are worn as a symbol of faith and joy during the Easter season, often adorned with flowers, ribbons, and other decorations, representing the arrival of spring and the promise of new life.

Easter Delivery

We are extremely grateful to our wonderful friends from 874 - Sherborne Air Cadet Squadron for organising a special delivery of Easter Eggs and treats for all our residents. 

On duty, we had the Commanding Officer, Flying Officer Helen Green, and her group of cadets who were keen to meet those who live with us and talk to those who have served themselves. They all enjoyed delivering eggs to the residents by hand, wishing all of us a very Happy Easter!

Our residents were able to pick their favourite treats from an impressively varied selection on offer and have a chat with the cadets, all of whom were impressed with their smart presentation and interesting stories.
