Yatton Carnival Celebration at Cadbury Hall

Today is the Day! 

The Yatton Carnival brought an exciting atmosphere to Cadbury Hall as our residents enjoyed the first VIP viewing of the vibrant parade set up. The theme for this year, "Yatton Traveling Around the World," resonated beautifully through the colourful displays and festive spirit.

As the parade passed, we welcomed the littles with cheerful greetings of "Bonjour!" and "Hola!", fostering a sense of community and connection among attendees. The Sunshine Community truly came together, celebrating diversity and creativity.

Our residents savoured refreshing Prosecco while basking in the warmth of the afternoon sun, making it a delightful experience.

Adding to the festive spirit, a spontaneous stall offering refreshments was set up in the beautiful gardens of Cadbury Hall, creating a perfect spot for relaxation and socializing.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this day memorable! Here’s to community spirit and joyful celebrations! 

 Barchester Gets Moving! 

We had a fantastic intergenerational morning at Cadbury Hall with students from Free to Be, featuring young adults with learning difficulties and challenges.

Special thanks to Simon from 3C Mentoring for leading a fun functional exercise session that was filled with laughter and joy!  We also enjoyed an exciting boxing demonstration from our guests, which was a highlight of the day! 

Residents had the chance to tour the home and visit those who Simon personally trains, creating wonderful connections.

The first-floor lounge was alive with music as Mike played the piano, bringing smiles to everyone.  The morning ended on an emotional note, celebrating the bonds formed.

We’re excited to announce the arrival of international volunteers who are eager to spend time with our residents. Together, we’re creating a vibrant community!

What a fantastic morning we had at The Note Warehouse with Right at Home! ✨

We kicked off the week with some uplifting tunes, starting with the classic Dancing Queen, followed by Moon River and Singing in the Rain—it was an electric mix of feel-good songs that got everyone singing along!

It was wonderful to meet with our local community and reconnect with previous respite residents from Cadbury Hall.

We enjoyed delicious hot chocolate and coffee, and the laughter was contagious!

Prosecco & Flowers: A Relaxing Afternoon of Creativity! 

Yesterday, our residents and their families enjoyed a lovely afternoon at our Prosecco & Flowers event! Led by our wonderful volunteer, Lesley, participants learned how to create beautiful floral arrangements using vibrant garden flowers and foliage.

With a glass of Prosecco in hand, everyone relaxed in our private dining room, enjoying the therapeutic benefits of flowers and herbs. Together, we crafted unique arrangements to brighten up our home and residents' bedrooms.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this mindfulness activity! It was a delightful way to connect, create, and enjoy each other's company. We can't wait for our next creative session! 

Tuesday's at Cadbury Hall 

What a fantastic morning! We kicked things off with music from David Green during our “Rise & Shine” session after breakfast. 

Residents enjoyed a lovely walk in the glorious sunshine to Yatton Library, soaking up the beautiful weather. 

Our Activities Coordinator, Steph, set up a delightful nail bar for our lovely ladies, adding a touch of pampering to the day. 

The café area was buzzing with activity—puzzles, games, laughter, and, of course, delicious refreshments and cakes! 

A big shoutout to Steph & Kathy for their natural and enthusiastic way of engaging with each resident. Their energy truly brightens our community! 

What a delightful Sunday afternoon we've had! After a wonderful mindfulness painting session and an uplifting church service with Mike Cooke from St Mary’s church , we gathered for a traditional Sunday roast lunch.

With full bellies and happy hearts, we truly celebrated replenishing our mind, body, and soul. The sun was shining, and it was the perfect day to connect and enjoy each other's company.

This week at Cadbury Hall, we proudly celebrated the rich diversity and vibrant culture of Nigeria, curated and delivered by Felicia, one of our dedicated carers. With a cameo role from her daughter, the event featured everyday traditional outfits that truly brought our celebrations to life.

A Delightful Culinary Experience  

Lunch was a highlight, with Felicia and Chef Evie collaborating to prepare mouth-watering dishes that included Jollof rice, chicken, plantain, and the beloved puff puff. Residents enjoyed these authentic flavours, with some even taking delicious leftovers home for supper!

Throughout the week, we explored the beautiful heritage of Nigeria. Residents learned about traditional greetings, wedding ceremonies, and the language, all while enjoying a virtual tour of popular destinations in Nigeria, including Abuja and Lagos.

Many residents shared their own connections to Nigeria. Andrew and his wife, who lived there for several years, reflected on special memories, while Molly’s family enjoyed traditional dishes for lunch on day of admission for respite stay with us.

The celebration wasn’t just about food; it was filled with music and movement. Residents joyfully danced and sang along, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and joy. Carer Paul, who recently returned from a Nigerian wedding, eagerly shared his experiences and can’t wait to showcase the photographs.

Felicia expressed her pride in sharing her cultural heritage, and we are delighted to see how fully our residents embraced each day of this vibrant celebration.

It was an absolute delight to welcome Felicia daughter to Cadbury Hall. As part of our Intergenerational activities with Yatton Primary school.

General Manager Audrene  said - World Day for Cultural Diversity, held on the 21 May, is a United Nations sanctioned observance day for the promotion of diversity and intercultural dialogue. The aim of the event is to reflect on the importance of cultural diversity and how it enriches society, both culturally and as a driver of global development. It also promotes dialogue between people of different cultures, so everyone can work together to achieve important goals including peace and sustainable development.

At Barchester, we value the cultural diversity within our homes, hospitals, and support staff.

At Cadbury Hall, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where diverse cultures are celebrated, enriching our community and giving everyone the chance to learn and grow together.
