🎃 Halloween Celebrations 🎃

Residents, patients and colleagues got into the Halloween spirit of things by creating beautiful autumnal displays with painted and carved pumpkins, flowers and wreaths.

Many of our care homes and hospitals hosted fun-filled Halloween events with delicious treats, mocktails, live music entertainment, costume competitions and community celebrations.

It's safe to say that everyone had a spooktacular time. 👻

Here are some of our favourite moments.

👻🎃 Bewitching Tricks and Spooky Treats 👻🎃

Springvale Court Care Home, in Wrekenton, , was a den of ghoulish activity as the home’s spooky Halloween Adams Family got into full swing.

Colleagues embraced the spirit of Halloween by dressing up as The Addams Family. Morticia, Gomez, Pugsley, Wednesday, Uncle Fester, Cousin Itt and Lurch all visited Trinity Square in Gateshead town centre to hand out goodie bags for children and adults, and everyone had the opportunity to have their photo taken with the Addams Family.

General Manager, Gemma Rooney, shared: “Our staff love any excuse for fancy dress day! – we’ve all had a brilliant time.”

The team at Springvale Court commented: “It has been such a fun day. It was wonderful to see everyone go to so much effort to get into the Halloween spirit. And seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces’’.

🔍 Thursday Night Murder Club at Caldy Manor 🕵️‍♀️

It was an evening to remember at Caldy Manor Care Home on the as residents, colleagues and friends from Heswall & District Ladies Circle turned detectives, suspects and stars in the home’s very own Thursday Murder Club-themed evening.

Inspired by Richard Osman’s much-loved mystery novels, there were hilarious plot twists and some truly Oscar-worthy performances, the night was packed with laughs and fantastic acting from everyone involved.

A huge thank you to all, the experience was a roaring success.

Safe to say… no one saw the ending coming! 😉

Yesterday we came together for our Macmillan Coffee Morning with sharing tea, coffee, and plenty of delicious cakes while raising money for a very important cause.

A Day by the Seaside at Lytham St Anne’s

Our residents enjoyed a lovely day out by the coast at Lytham St Anne’s. We took gentle walks along the promenade, stopping to take in the fresh sea air and the beautiful views that stretched for miles. The lifeboat station was a highlight, sparking lots of conversation and memories of seaside holidays from years gone by.

No trip to the seaside would be complete without fish and chips, and we made sure to enjoy ours right on the promenade – the perfect setting for a classic treat. With the sound of the waves in the background and plenty of laughter along the way, it truly was a day full of happy moments and new memories to add to old ones.

A Perfect Day on the New Horizons Canal Boat

We had the most wonderful day out on the New Horizons canal boat. The sun was shining from start to finish, and the water was alive with ducks gliding alongside us. To our surprise, we even spotted a bull cooling off with a paddle in the water – not something you see every day on a boat trip!

Halfway through our journey, we decided it was the perfect time for an ice cream break. This meant one of our group had to make a quick jump from the boat to the shop, returning with delicious cones for everyone to enjoy on deck. Sitting in the sunshine, surrounded by the peaceful sights and sounds of the canal, we shared stories, laughter, and good company.

It was a day full of fresh air, nature, and happy memories that we’ll be talking about for a long time
