We had a fantastic and highly motivating exercise class this morning, thanks entirely to the efforts of Tom from G-Fitness. Tom is consistently a standout instructor, deserving of the 'best in class' title, especially when it comes to inclusivity and support.

His approach is remarkably sensitive and effective: he is truly non-prejudicial toward any of the residents' perceived abilities or limitations. This judgment-free zone he cultivates is essential.

Rather than focusing on what someone can't do, Tom uses thoughtful communication and persistent encouragement to tap into their potential. This positive reinforcement is precisely what empowers the residents, giving them the confidence boost needed to participate fully and willingly give the exercises a try! It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes, the only fitness equipment needed is a good attitude and great coach!

Novembers Dementia Community Cafe

What an absolutely wonderful and vibrant afternoon we had at this month's Dementia Community Cafe!

The atmosphere was truly warming with chatter and laughter, proving once again how important these moments of connection are. The cafe was packed, filled with friends, families, and carers sharing stories and enjoying the warmth of good company. It's so heartening to see our community come together, reinforcing those vital social links that make all the difference.

☕ Comfort and Connection

Of course, no community cafe is complete without a little comfort! We kept the winter chill at bay with endless nice hot cuppas—the perfect accompaniment to lively conversation. And the star of the show? Our delicious, homemade hot mince pies! We always put a lot of love into our baking, and seeing everyone tuck in and enjoy those festive treats made the effort completely worthwhile.

A huge thank you to every volunteer, carer, and community member who joined us and helped create such a supportive, joyful, and memorable space. Your presence is what makes these gatherings so special.

Creative Mojo Worcester's Anna shared an evocative trinity of inspiration: the amber glow of the bonfire, the stardust shower of the fireworks, and the quiet dignity of the poppy's promise for Remembrance. The residents really enjoy pulling together the final pieces, under direction from Anna. Fabulous displays, well done eveeryone!

That's absolutely brilliant news! 🎉

Our Dementia Awareness Talks getting a shout-out in the local paper is a huge win, especially when we're focused on supporting the most vulnerable folks within our local community. We think what we do is important, but it's fantastic when the local press agrees and helps us shine a spotlight on it!

Honestly, our Dementia and Wellbeing Lead, Paul, doesn't just "love" to spread the word, he practically breathes dementia awareness. We're pretty sure his blood type is B+ for 'Be Kind to Brains'. Give him a soapbox and an audience, and he'll happily talk until the cows come home about the importance of understanding and supporting people living with dementia. He's on a relentless, yet charming, mission to make sure everyone knows that a diagnosis isn't a full stop; it's just a different chapter.

It’s all part of our quest to take the fear and shame out of the conversation. Let's keep those conversations flowing, those awareness levels high, and that stigma firmly squashed! is more than a hashtag for us; it's a way of life! Go, ! 🌳Buckland Care Evesham Journal BBC Hereford & Worcester

Well, honestly, whoever dared to utter the blasphemous phrase "too soon" clearly hasn't grasped the sheer, unadulterated joy of premature merriment! Let's be frank, "too soon" is merely a suggestion whispered by the perpetually sensible, the tragically restrained, and possibly, someone who ran out of sticky tape.

👑 The Unofficial Decree of Festive Timeliness 👑

I mean, really, is it ever too soon for a little sparkle to enter our lives? I think not! The moment one holiday's wrapping paper hits the recycling bin, the invisible starting pistol for the next is fired. Waiting is for dentists' appointments and buffering videos. Festivities, on the other hand, are a dish best served immediately, and ideally, with copious amounts of tinsel and something that stains.

So, listen up, my glorious companions in chaos and craftiness, I'm looking at you, ladies! We shall not be held back by the Gregorian calendar, societal norms, or the faint, pleading cries of our vacuum cleaners. We are the architects of amusement, the queens of confetti, the mavens of marvelous mess! Let the record show that the official starting time for glittery, sparkly, messy fun is always, always, always now!

A massive thank you is in order for Wendy! Her recent work on the residents' hair has been an absolute success.

Everyone is absolutely beaming with their new looks, and they truly look amazing. It's incredible how much a fresh "new 'doo" can elevate someone's mood and self-esteem. That feeling is priceless, and the subtle change has clearly made all the difference to their overall happiness and energy for the day.
