Activities at Braeburn Lodge Care Home
Our dedicated activities team are constantly dreaming up new and wonderful ways to support and stimulate the residents we look after. From trips to crafts, parties to skittles, musical performances and quizzes, we include something for everyone and pride ourselves on including everyone into the fun. We have a brilliant team of volunteers who help us to deliver more trips, support us at events and pop in for a cup of tea and chat. We have pet therapy at least once per week (sometimes twice!) and we take advantage of every school break by holding large scale events that we can invite families with children to. We have been developing ties with our neighbours since we first opened and thanks to this, we have successfully brought together our residents with local churches, choirs, Brownies groups, and schools. Whatever your interests are, here at Braeburn, there's something for everyone.
Yasmine Dawson
I have worked at Braeburn Lodge since 2015. I started working as a carer and the activities side of the role really appealed to me. We organise a variety of activities to suit everybody’s preferences and abilities. I enjoy working at Braeburn and making a difference to the residents’ lives.

Life at Braeburn Lodge Care Home
The Chelsea Pensioner
We had a lovely visit from Madge, who is a Chelsea Pensioner. Madge travelled from the Royal Hospital Chelsea to see residents at Braeburn Lodge in her unmistakable uniform of scarlet. Residents – some of whom are themselves veterans – shared stories with Madge as she joined them for lunch,
Reminiscence Afternoon
We are so very lucky to have a wonderful team of volunteers here at Braeburn Lodge. Lynn takes us down memory lane with her reminiscence afternoons once a week, seen here in her authentic 1950s attire.
The Cockney Crooner
There's always time for singing and dancing at Braeburn Lodge. We were entertained by The Crafty Crooner, one of Peterborough's Pearly Kings in all his regalia, and sang the afternoon away with many of the good old pub favourites.
Staff Choir
We put together a staff choir and sang the evening away to the delight of residents.They said they enjoyed it – or were they just being polite?
Christmas Carols
We had the pleasure of welcoming one of our local primary school's choirs to Braeburn Lodge to serenade us with their beautiful voices. Christmas songs and traditional carols sounded throughout the home – and it was a joy to hear!
Deeping Lions Club
Santa and his band of merry helpers from the Deeping Lions Club visited us here at Braeburn Lodge to warm up with a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie and spread lots of Christmas cheer.
