Castleford Lodge

We’ve done a fair bit of ‘upcycling’ over the past few weeks, and the results have been pretty amazing!

The recycled garden was put together by our wonderful support worker, Angela Cochrane,…

We welcomed Jason Gorrigan on 6th April 2020, from a home in Weston. From Weston, Jason came to the plains of Tutshill and life hasn’t been the same since! A middleweight boxer from Bristol, Jason came to live with us during the start of the pandemic, which was a scary time for him, but I…

Lydnsey and Charlotte took it upon themselves to raise funds for a sensory garden to be installed at The Lodge, and lo and behold, they have successfully completed their challenge!

At the end of Summer, Tom jetted off to Majorca with carers Nathan and Kay! They spent a glorious few days in the sunshine sipping on cocktails and eating spanish cuisine.

Andrew, Nicola, Gav, Bob and Nathan had a cinema day.. here at The Lodge! They enjoyed treats and many, many films.

On one rainy day, Nathan, Bob, Gavin and Steve decided to put some life skills to good use and make some mini pizza tacos for the people at The Lodge! They tasted as good as they look.

After what felt like the longest winter ever, those at The Lodge finally had a day of 23° sunshine! To celebrate, Tom, Steve and Nathan decided to make a selection of cocktails for everyone to enjoy.    

Easter at The Lodge this year truly was ‘eggcellent’! All of our residents received an Easter egg in the morning, before taking part in our tasty treat baking afternoon.
