Activities at Worplesdon View Care Home

The activities team at Worplesdon View organise and run activities and events for large groups, small groups and individual residents. We include relatives, volunteers and the remaining staff whenever possible and encourage choice and participation from everyone we support. Our programme is planned in advance and is is designed provide tailored, meaningful activities for residents to participate in that will stimulate all senses, whist encouraging mental and physical well-being. We have an activity plan for all residents, and of course, this changes with the needs of each person to keep it up-to-date and useful. Worplesdon View is a fun and dynamic place to live and work, and the secret to this is that everyone is encouraged to see activities as part of their role in the home so that residents are happy and always have something to do.

Raju Ahmed

Activities Coordinator

Raju or Raz to everyone I’m a dedicated professional with a strong work ethic and a genuine passion for care and customer service. With experience in hospitality, security, and health and wellness, I bring a unique and compassionate perspective to my role as an Activity Coordinator at Barchester, where I’ve proudly worked for the past three years. Earlier in my career, I ran my own pub, developing strong customer service and community engagement skills. I later worked in railway security, focusing on public safety, before moving to Cygnet as an Activity Specialist, supporting individuals with mental health needs. As a qualified Personal Trainer with a solid understanding of anatomy and biology, I take a holistic approach to wellbeing. I design engaging, personalised activity programmes that help residents stay active, stimulated, and joyful. I love what I do, and I’m driven every day by the opportunity to make a positive difference in people’s lives.

Worplesdon View residents enjoyed a sunny afternoon exploring a new local pub. We relaxed with cold drinks by the lake, took in the peaceful views, and even fed baby ducks. The warm weather made it a perfect outing, filled with laughter, nature, and great company. A wonderful time was had.

Toddler morning

The children had their monthly visit to Worplesdon View Care Home to say Hello and interact with the residents. The children enjoyed handing out ice-creams to residents and building towers to knock down. 

We ended the session with a singalong, which the residents joined in with. Excellent singing from all!

Brenda, one of our residents at Worplesdon View Care Home, recently gave an inspiring talk on the importance of flowers and how they shape the beauty of our world. The session was warmly received by fellow residents and visiting family members, who thoroughly enjoyed Brenda’s insights and passion.
