Activities at Ashby House
Our Activities Coordinators are constantly striving to enrich peoples lives here at Ashby House. We stimulate people both physically and mentally by organising fun filled, group and individual activities to promote the well-being of those we support.
There are regular outings in our very own minibus and visits from PAT dog therapists, church services, musicians, dancers, and local school children. We also have our very own 'Good Life' gardening club, where we grow our own produce, which we then use in our cooking club. We also host weekly bingo sessions which are proving very popular and are growing in numbers.

New Year Celebrations
On New Year's Eve Ashby House had a little party. We had King Rackham come into the home to play live Piano and Violin to bring in the New Year in style. After the live performance we had a delicious buffet. It was the perfect way to start the new year.

We would like to say thank you for every volunteer who came in to Ashby and spent time with us.
