We kicked off the Christmas season with a fun-filled gingerbread decorating session! Our residents absolutely loved creating their own festive designs, there was plenty of laughter as they decided what “clothes” to dress their gingerbread people in. 🎄

Not only was it a joyful and creative activity, but it was also a wonderful way to exercise their hands as they carefully squeezed the icing tubes to get that perfect line. 🍬🎅

On Armistice Day, we reflect on the ways in which our residents have shown their respects for those who serve. Some used their creativity to make poppy wreaths out of cupcake cases and tissue paper, whilst others attended the local Remembrance Service and Parade to participate in the act of remembrance.

We recently had a special visit from Nimbus the cat, who belongs to Emily from our Activities Team. Nimbus was an absolute star and our residents loved giving him cuddles. 💛

It’s amazing how much joy and comfort a furry friend can bring - thank you, Nimbus, for brightening everyone’s day! 🐾✨
