Exciting news........

We are absolutely delighted and incredibly excited to announce that we have finally secured a plot on the allotments, right next to the home!
 
Our residents couldn’t wait to head over and have a look and whilst we know there is LOTS of work to do, we simply cannot wait to get started!
 
We have some really special plans for our new allotment and are looking forward to creating a beautiful space where our residents can enjoy the outdoors, get involved, grow things, make memories and have lots of fun along the way!
 
This is just the beginning…
 
Watch this space for regular updates as we transform our little plot into something very special! 

Trip to the Swan!

Our residents enjoyed a trip to the Swan at Streatley, where they all soaked up the beautiful views and

enjoyed a coffee and time out in the sunshine. 

Locky Farm Trip

A Lovely Day Out at Locky Farm

Our residents had a wonderful trip to Locky Farm in Barkham on 1st September 2026.

It was lovely to see all the cute and friendly animals, and our residents really enjoyed getting involved by giving them some feed.

With the sunshine out, everyone had a fantastic time enjoying the fresh air and making some lovely memories together. And, of course, no day out would be complete without an ice cream to finish off the day!

A truly lovely day enjoyed by all.

101 years young and still getting stuck in!

Age is just a number for our wonderful resident Jean, who has been busy helping us prepare our autumn bedding plants today. What a lady, her energy and passion for life enrichment are an inspiration to us all!

An afternoon Stroll

Some of our lovely residents took a refreshing stroll down to our local pub, Bird in Hand for a change of scenery, great conversation, and a refreshing G&T.   The afternoon was filled with laughter and good conversation, and we even managed to dodge the rain showers along the way. A huge thank you to the team at The Bird in Hand for making us feel so welcome!

Odiham Food Fayre!

We had a fantastic day on Bank Holiday Monday at the Odiham Food Fayre, raising money for St Michael's Hospice (North Hampshire). What a fabulous turn out, it was fantastic to see such great support for the event. We are delighted to have raised just over £300 for the hospice today, so a massive thank you to everyone that stopped to say 'hi', bought our tasty granola and entered our raffle. Big thanks also to inOdiham for having us. We have a few bags of granola left, so do pop by Whitewater Place this week to pick up a bag before it's gone!

Monthly Pudding Club - You're Invited!

On the Last Friday of every month at 3pm, we open up our doors to showcase the wonderful expertise of our Head Chef John and his team.
