Activities at Cepen Lodge 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 Cepen Lodge Care Home
Christmas Fayre
We held our annual Christmas Fayre on the 7th December, raising funds to support our local Sea Cadets whose unit was destroyed during the recent floods.
We had a range of stall holders, music, refreshments and a special visit from Santa and his elf for the children!
We held our famous raffle and tombola, and raised a grand total of £328.30.
Residents, visitors and the team had such a fun afternoon fundraising for a special cause in our local community.
Trip to Whitehall Garden Centre
A lovely afternoon visit to Whitehall Garden Centres to see the beautiful Christmas displays with some of our residents, we had a fun-filled afternoon perusing the Christmas goodies and buying Christmas presents for our loved ones.
We are so lucky to live locally to Whitehall, and to be able to enjoy their seasonal events and displays.
Festive Afternoon Tea at the Neeld
Today our SGM Jade and Activities Team Anita & Siobhan took some of our residents to the Neeld Hall for a special afternoon tea.
We watched a brilliant performance from Ivy Lane School Choir, which made some of us quite emotional! We had some delicious nibbles, and even got to paint our own clay pottery decorations.
All agreed we had a lovely festive afternoon!
Tree Decorating Competition
Father Christmas visited yesterday with some elves to help switch on the outside Christmas lights followed by hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows for our residents.
The activities team gave our residents a helping hand today to decorate the trees on each community all topped with a star – all competing to see who could create the best dressed tree!
Birds of Prey
Pet therapy of the feathery kind!
We had a great time recently with another amazing visit from Jenny at Wren Birds of Prey.
The lounge was packed with residents, relatives and team members for an up close experience with the beautiful owls and Harris's hawks.
Its always so interesting to learn about these beautiful creatures and their different personalities.
We are looking forward to inviting Jenny in again for another educational visit with some different birds this time.
Harvest Festival Celebration
What a brilliant time we had at our recent Harvest Festival Celebration.
We provided some live music from Salvation Army Chippenham and their brass band , hymn singing and prayers followed by food & lots of cake.
Thankyou to Morrisons Chippenham Community Champion for the wonderful donation of pumpkins.
It was a great afternoon and we extremely grateful for the wonderful donations for the food bank, thankyou to all who came and donated.
