🎨🍪🐻 Children in Need 2025 at Plessington Court 🐻🍪🎨

We’re getting stuck in for a brilliant cause today—Children in Need 2025! Our residents and team are joining in the fun with Pudsey Bear biscuit decorating, painting sessions, and plenty of laughter along the way.

The creativity is flowing, the icing is flying, and Pudsey is popping up everywhere you look! Later, we’ll be gathering together to watch the BBC’s Children in Need coverage, cheering on the incredible fundraising efforts happening across the country.

It’s a joy to be part of something that brings people together for such an important cause. 💛

Today we have commemorated Armistice Day by placing a cross in the garden of remembrance during our church service this morning, participating in the 11am two minutes silence and later enjoying music and songs in memory of fallen soldiers. We also spent time with our own Veterans, thanking them for their service and spending time appreciating the meaning behind the poppy we wear proudly.

This week has been one of quiet strength and shared moments.
We’ve said goodbye to cherished friends—each farewell a reminder of the deep bonds formed here, and the privilege of walking alongside someone in their final chapter.
Amid the emotion, we’ve also been lifted by kindness. Volunteers arrived with open hearts and willing hands. A great visit from the our friends and their beautiful cars.
And behind the scenes, the work continues. Improvements to our buildings—are more than bricks and mortar.
To every team member, family, and visitor: thank you for being part of this week.

Better than sparklers

05/11/2025

We didn’t let the lack of fireworks stop us! We’ve made marshmallow sparklers, firework biscuits, enjoyed a TV firework display with glow sticks, hot dogs and hot chocolate! Residents have also enjoyed chatting about what they like and don’t like about firework and their memories of ‘Penny for the Guy’. We’ve also had colouring, crosswords and word searches for residents to do if they fancied it. What a positive bonfire night despite the cancellation!

Hi there,

This November, Kyla is swimming for Dementia UK – a cause close to my heart.

Just £10 could pay for the telephone costs of two families calling its free Dementia Helpline, so any support would be appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Bonfire Party Update
Hi everyone — we’re really sorry to say that due to the poor weather forecast, we’ve decided to cancel our bonfire party. We were so looking forward to gathering with you all, but safety and soggy socks don’t mix!
***Residents will be having hot dogs and we have indoor plans***
We’ll be in touch soon with a new date or a cosy alternative. Thanks for understanding, and stay warm and dry folks…

This weekend at Chapel House we were decorating pumpkins. Some residents told staff what to paint, some did the painting themselves and some decided sticking a patchwork design was what they wanted to do! We all had great fun. If you’re visiting see if you can spot the pumpkins about the home 🎃
