Feeding the birds at Braeburn

The Braeburn residents decided to make fat balls for their feathered garden visitors and hung them out on the feeders. They look wonderful. Now the sun has graced us with her presence again, we can feel spring is in the air!

Craft and slime time

Our residents enjoy an eclectic mix of arts and crafts activities; some of which are messier than others!

Beautiful butterfly trip

Staff and residents from Milkwood House took a trip into Portsmouth to visit Cumberland House Natural History Museum & Butterfly House. It was fascinating. They ended the visit with a cup of tea by Canoe Lake, and managed to make a friend with a swan who seemed set on coming home with them!

Therapy and sensory room at The Mountains

We are very lucky to have our therapist, Natasha, who visits often to see the residents for both one-to-one and group therapy, massage and sensory sessions. We’re lucky that funding has been made available to a lady called Louise, who is able to provide our residents with extra sensory sessions and she’s also kindly donated…

Castleford school visit

We feel really lucky to be really connected with our local community and recently, one of local schools came to visit us. The children brought excitement, joy and happiness to our residents who smiled for the rest of the day after spending time with the children.

For the love of an eclair!

Who doesn’t love an eclair? That’s why the staff at Braeburn Lodge decided it would be a great idea to make some with the residents. They used choux pastry, cream, and of course – chocolate! You can see they went down very well with everyone who tasted them.

Springing into Spring

Here at Castleford we are preparing for springtime. We were very lucky to have daffodils donated to us, thank you Sharon. We have been busy doing arts and crafts to go on our spring wall and we have done some flower arranging to go around our home. Now we just need the sunshine.

Exploring our local area – The Mountains

When the sun is shining, we try to go out as much as possible! Here are some photos from a visit to the Mountains Centre and a scavenger hunt we did at Craig-y-Nos country park.

One to one time

It’s fantastic when Applewood residents gather together and socialise as a group, but sometimes there’s nothing more special than playing a game, chatting to a friend, or quiet moments alone enjoying a spot of TV.

You are invited! Community Connections

The team at Milkwood House wanted to bring the community together for a sing song – so they did! They will be running their community connections on a monthly basis and everyone is welcome, so please spread the word. Come along to The Legion in Liss on the last Friday of the month 2pm –…
