What a fantastic afternoon at Marian House 🎶
We were treated to wonderful entertainment from Darren Carpenter who had the whole room buzzing from start to finish. 🎤 🎵
He belted out some classic tunes that brought back so many memories — from Heartbeat to Any Dream Will Do — and there was plenty of toe-tapping, clapping, and even a bit of singing along 🎙️
It was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves so much.
Already looking forward to the next one!
🕺🏼💃🏼

Happy 4th Birthday to Basil, our favourite four-legged therapist at Marian House 🐾🎉
Four years of wagging tails, expert-level cuddles, and pretending not to understand “no more treats”

Thank you for all the smiles, comfort, and suspiciously well-timed visits whenever biscuits are nearby. Here’s to more belly rubs and more walks.
Happy Birthday, Basil — keep being paws-itively amazing! 🦴🐶💛

🌍 Happy Earth Day – 22 April 2026 🌱
Today, we celebrate our beautiful planet and reflect on what Earth Day truly means to us all. It’s a reminder that the small actions we take every day can make a big difference in protecting the world we share.
At Marian House, Earth Day is about care — not just for one another but for our environment too. Just as we nurture and support everyone who lives here, we can also take steps to care for the Earth for future generations.

🌳What Earth Day means: It’s about appreciation, responsibility, and hope. Every tree, every drop of water, and every act of kindness toward nature counts.

🌿 Simple things we can all do:

💚Turn off lights and save energy
💚Reduce waste and recycle where possible
💚Enjoy and protect our green spaces
💚Use less plastic and reuse what we can
💚Share awareness and encourage others

Together, even the smallest actions can create a healthier, greener future.
Let’s continue to care — for each other and for our planet. 🌎💚

A huge congratulations to Mrs L’s son, Chris 🚴‍♂️👏🏼
Chris has just completed an incredible 1200km solo cycle ride from Roscoff in France all the way to Bilbao in Spain to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society, following his retirement from the police force.
Setting off on 1st April and finishing on 14th April, this was no easy journey—facing storms, long distances, and challenging mountainous terrain along the way.
So far, Chris has raised an amazing £4000 for this very worthy cause 💙
If you’d like to support his efforts, donations can be made here:

Well done, Chris—an inspiring achievement! 👏🏼
