Activities at Begbrook House Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Life at Begbrook House Care Home
A Kind Donation
We have been treated to donated activity boxes from the Children’s Strap Store, in the hopes that these boxes will bring joy and excitement to the residents, all funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
We have completed a range of activities, including decorating our windows and clay bowls. The window decorations offer colourful rays of light in the living room, and the clay bowl will come in handy.
Mother's Day
Celebrations at Begbrook House were in full flow, with flower arranging, relaxing music and, to finish off, a cream tea.
Chinese Lantern Festival
Residents at Begbrook House came together to celebrate the Chinese Lantern Festival! We watched videos of the lantern festival and listened to relaxing music. Each resident also received a small red envelope with a fortune cookie and small message inside to brighten their day.
Knitt & Natter
Residents chose to knit rainbow squares for a community project. They have started off with a bright green and red, and they hope that, by the end of the week, we will have a full rainbow of coloured squares!
Valentine's Day
Here at Begbrook House, we have been celebrating all things love! All residents and staff received a paper basket of treats and a big red rose to brighten their day.
Residents enjoyed a whole range of activities, from listening to love songs to romantic movies. Residents are also enjoying the decorations around the home, and feel that it really brightens the place up!
Jumper Making
These beautiful jumpers have been made by a very helpful resident from Begbrook House. They will be shipped to Kenya for young children. They are currently in the process of putting the second jumper together, and another hopefully to follow.
