Activities at Chater Lodge Care Home

Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, is a cherished tradition before Lent begins. On this special day, our residents indulged in delicious pancakes.

The simplicity of pancake preparation adds to the joy, our residents joined the fun, and flipped some tasty pancakes, and made the most of this delicious tradition.

Staff and residents joined in the fun, we reminisced about pancake day as a child and our favourite toppings

Residents, relatives and colleagues at the Chater Lodge Care Home in Ketton have recently launched a food bank initiative, collecting food items for ‘Second Helpings’ in Stamford.

Second Helpings is a project run in partnership with Stamford Methodist Church and the whole community. Based in the heart of Stamford, our volunteers work with local suppliers and supermarkets to redistribute surplus food nearing its best before date to the community. Our aim is to ‘feed bellies not bins’ and we are passionate about reducing food waste and working with the community to reduce our environmental impact.

Residents, their relatives and staff have all been touched by the amazing work taking place at the Stamford Methodist Church by the team at ‘Second Helpings’ and has seen the home and local community band together to support the group.
