Residents had a wonderful visit to the Gifted Café in Highcliffe, run by our charity of the year, Stable Family Home Trust - Supporting adults with learning disabilities ☕💛

They enjoyed refreshments, chatted with the team about their inspiring projects, and admired the items they’ve created. Sue, on her first minibus trip, summed it up perfectly: “What a lovely trip!”

A brilliant confidence boost for Ali this week 🌱

After working with our physio students, he decided he wanted to mow the lawn — and he did an amazing job! The garden looks fantastic, and Ali proudly crowned himself “Head Groundskeeper” afterwards.

A wonderful moment of progress, pride, and a good bit of humour too.

Our residents recently enjoyed a relaxing nail pampering session 💛

Edna chose a soft, delicate pink, and while Sarah provided a gentle hand massage, careful shaping, and expert polish application, the conversation flowed with laughter and fond memories of past nail appointments with friends.

By the end of the session, Edna was delighted with her fresh nails and the attention to detail, leaving her feeling truly pampered and special.

The sea breeze at West Cliff nearly blew the biscuits right out of our hands, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying a good cup of tea with a view!

On one side, we could see Poole and Brownsea Island, and on the other, the piers, Hengistbury Head, and the Isle of Wight shining in the distance.

Our driver, Paul, became our unofficial tour guide, pointing out landmarks like a pro. His highlight of the day was the cliff face on the Isle of Wight — “Look there,” he said, “you can see a polar bear!”

All in all, it was a lovely outing — full of laughs, good company… and a polar bear!

On our most recent Baking Club menu: sausage rolls! Residents were on hand with the egg wash and fork, making sure the outsides were golden and perfect.

Sadly, Companion Maddee wasn’t quite quick enough with the camera post-oven – the rolls were devoured before a photo could be snapped!

Evelyn recently enjoyed her very own one-to-one gardening session!

The wind may have been blowing a gale, but Evelyn wasn’t bothered – in her words, she’s a “country bumpkin” and "fresh air never hurt anyone!" Armed with her wheelbarrow, Evelyn teamed up with Lynn, our gardener, to tackle the ivy.

Evelyn took great pride in loading up her wheelbarrow, joking that she was running her own garden service – “Evelyn’s Ivy Removals, open for business!”
