We had such a joyful day at Ashlynn Grange as we hosted our very first danceSing session! 💛

Residents enjoyed singing, music, gentle movement, and plenty of laughter. The danceSing team created a beautiful experience that supported wellbeing and encouraged self-expression and connection.

One of the best parts? Our whole team got involved! Carers, night staff, the lifestyle team, our gardener and maintenance staff all joined residents in the fun - a perfect example of the community spirit we’re so proud of at Ashlynn Grange.

The photos captured some amazing moments. Read more about the memories created: https://www.athenacarehomes.co.uk/2025/11/24/ashlynn-grange-launches-first-dancesing-wellbeing-session/

A huge thank you to Peasgood & Skeates for inviting us to their wonderful “Dance to Remember” event! 💃🕺
On Thursday 13th November, our Langdon House residents headed down to the church hall and enjoyed a fabulous 1940s-themed tea dance held in remembrance. ✨
We are so grateful to Peasgood and Skeates for including us, and an extra special thank you to May Blossom for her incredible performance, our residents absolutely loved it! 🎶🌸
I also want to give a heartfelt shout-out to the Langdon House team for pulling together and helping us get 19 residents to the event, this would not have been possible without your dedication and teamwork. 🙌💜
A special mention to Lance George, who made multiple trips transporting residents with wheelchairs. Your effort truly made a difference. 🦽💜
We were also delighted to have ITV join us — and our very own Peggy Cowell was interviewed! 🎤📺

Alex Wood House invites you to join us on Saturday 22nd November between 2.00 and 4.00pm at The Church of the Good Shepherd in Arbury, for an afternoon of fundraising and refreshments, all in aid of The Cambridge Acorn Project.

The Cambridge Acorn Project has been supporting local children and families affected by trauma, abuse and financial hardship for the last decade. During this time, they have helped to positively change the lives of thousands of children and their families.

Trauma can steal opportunities from children. They believe that things can be different and that families should have access to support in a way that is meaningful to them. They believe strongly in the need for individual choice, and they provide a range of services and approaches which respond to individual circumstances.

We look forward to seeing you there.
