Festive cheer wouldn’t look quite the same without our brilliant maintenance team getting involved! 🎄😄

From keeping everything running smoothly to bringing smiles with a bit of Christmas fun, they’re always there behind the scenes and clearly enjoying the season too ✨

Thank you for everything you do, not just at Christmas but all year round 💛

Reliable, safe… and now covered in festive cheer! ❄️🚗

Our cheeky Elf has been busy decorating the Askham van with Christmassy snowflakes today 🖌️ He certainly knows how to make himself useful or at least decorative! 🎨

We’re delighted to share that our Christmas Bingo Night has been featured in the Cambs Times! 🎄✨

The article beautifully captures the warmth, excitement and togetherness of the evening, from the joyful atmosphere in the hall to the generosity of our local supporters and prize donors: Nikki Man, the Greetings Shop in March, Creed, Cambridgeshire Hair and Beauty, Install Barbers, Riverside Chip Shop, Smashalicious, Rumbles Chip Shop and Treetops, Alex, Shelley Brandon, and our dedicated Bingo caller, Robert Gay.

Most importantly, it highlights the incredible community spirit that helped raise funds for our Residents’ Fund 💛

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, donated and helped make the night so memorable 🙏

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down! 🎄🩺

Buddy has been looking for help today and knew exactly who to call: Askham’s nurses to the rescue! Our naughty Elf never stays out of trouble for long but at least he’s in very capable hands 💛

Last Monday we had the joy of welcoming the Lionel Walden choir to Askham and what a beautiful performance they delivered! 🎶✨

Their singing filled the room with warmth and festive spirit, bringing smiles to residents, families and staff alike 😊

A huge thank you to the choir for sharing their time and talents with us. We hope to see them again soon! 💛

Hydrotherapy has never been this refreshing… or this sweet! 💦

Our Elf has been exploring today and somehow found his way into the Askham Rehab hydrotherapy pool. Our mischievous elf caused just a little bit of festive chaos; nothing serious, just enough to make everyone smile! 😄

We’ll be keeping a close eye on him… he’s getting braver by the day! 🙃

Doddington is sparkling once again this festive season! 🎄✨

We’re delighted to support the village displays this year by sponsoring the train in front of the school, a feature that’s already proving to be a real favourite.

A huge well done to the Doddington Christmas Lights team for creating such a warm, joyful atmosphere across the village. It’s wonderful to see so many people enjoying the lights 💛

If you’re passing through, be sure to take a look. They’re truly magical ❄️☃️

Our cheeky elf thought he could get away with it… but our Activities Team wanted a rematch! ⚽️

Buddy has discovered our brand-new games table and wasted no time trying to claim victory. A huge thank you to March Tesco for the kind donation 🙏 It’s already bringing lots of fun to Askham! 💛✨

Today’s special at Askham… one naughty elf, tightly wrapped! 🍽️🎄

Buddy tried to cause mischief in the kitchen this morning but let’s just say things didn’t quite go to plan 🫣 He ended up wrapped like leftovers instead! 😅

He never learns but he certainly keeps us smiling! 💛

Our Head Chef Tyler brings the skill… but the elf brings the chaos! 🎄🧁

Buddy has found his way into the kitchen again and let’s just say today’s fairy cakes might take a little longer than usual...

He means well but he’s definitely not ready for the baking rota just yet! 😩

Buddy has been up to mischief again today 🎄💅

We were wondering why there was a little queue forming outside our onsite salon. It turns out this naughty elf had stolen the seat for his own pamper session! ✨

He definitely knows how to make himself at home at Askham! We’ll see what he tries next! 👀
