A lovely Chat & Choc afternoon in the bar with Wellbeing Coordinator Karen. There was plenty of chatting, laughter, and smiles, helped along by lots of Tunnocks caramel wafers and tea cakes. A simple get-together that brought everyone together and made for a really enjoyable time.

Wellbeing Coordinator Janine trialled a new TikTok-inspired activity, Sticky Umbrella, bringing together movement, music therapy, and teamwork in a large-group setting. Residents were invited to throw the balls and aim to get them to stick to the umbrella, encouraging coordination, focus, and plenty of shared laughter.

Margaret was happy to lend a hand after the afternoon tea round, helping with the dishes and enjoying being part of the routine. It’s these simple, everyday moments that bring a sense of purpose, boost confidence, and keep everyone feeling involved.
A lovely example of teamwork and community spirit.

This afternoon’s minibus visit to Bothwell Memory Café delivered strong engagement and meaningful social connection for our residents.
The programme included a TV show quiz, a desserts picture quiz, and a lively game of bingo—creating a well-balanced mix of cognitive stimulation and light-hearted competition. Frank thoroughly enjoyed his tea, and the homemade brownies were a clear standout, earning a unanimous 10/10 from the group.
A highly positive outing that reinforced community partnerships, supported wellbeing outcomes, and provided quality shared experiences outside the home. We look forward to building on this momentum with future visits.

The visit delivered a strong engagement outcome, with residents fully immersing themselves in the hands-on exhibits, encouraging curiosity, conversation, and meaningful connection. The experience was rounded off with a relaxed café visit, where residents enjoyed a cuppa and social interaction, reinforcing community links and wellbeing through shared experiences.
