During October 2016 our activities continued to thrive with an increase in the number of Residents who attended our ‘Fish and Chip Supper’ at our monthly social which was followed by a pub quiz – this was enjoyed by all!

We continued to celebrate our Resident’s birthday’s and this month we celebrated Jackie and Sid’s birthdays with their friends and families on their respective units.

Armchair exercise has now become a firm favourite with our Resident’s in our activities calendar and our Knitting Club is also proving popular – especially with Gerard and Sid! All Resident’s are welcome to attend and those who don’t enjoy knitting are still coming for a chat and a cup of tea.

This month ‘art’ has become more popular with a visit to our Rehabilitation Centre to admire their paintings and explore their art room.

Our Resident’s are still continuing to enjoy our day to day activities and our new Resident’s are coming along and allows them to develop relationships with other Resident’s from other units.

During October we also celebrated Halloween on the Market Place with Resident’s and their families with our take on ‘apple bobbing’ – using doughnuts and dangling them using string.  Congratulations to Gerard who was our overall winner in this game!
