Activities at Collingtree Park Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as they can, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join in with activities and events as often as they can.
Martin Tilly-Reed
Hello, my name is Martin, I'm the activities coordinator here at Collingtree Park
My role is to ensure that our activities, outings and the entertainment we provide is stimulating and inclusive of all our residents no matter their challenges. It is important to me that our weekly calendar offers enriching experiences with music from live entertainers, visits to various locations outside the home, as well as arts and crafts tailored to individual abilities.
Getting to know our residents better is so important, and through regular family and friends’ meetings we can gain a greater understanding of their loved ones' interests and life prior to joining Collingtree Park that will make for a richer activities program to be developed.
I look forward to getting to know you, and your loved ones.
We are always open to new ideas. If you would like to get involved in any of our Life Enrichment activities or have a skill, or project you'd like to share with our residents, please click here to contact the activities team direct. New entertainers and community links are always welcome.

Life at Collingtree Park Care Home
Reaching for the Stars
Keep fit - reach for the stars! It may be raining outside, but we bought smiles and laughter with our keep fit session today. Thank you Anya for 'singing in the rain' and helping our residents to feel revitalised for the week ahead.
Enjoying Enid Blyton
To celebrate Enid Blyton's birthday our Activities Lead; Skye bought Pam some of her childhood stories to read. As they sat together Skye and Pam reminisced about reading the stories as children. Pam informed us all that for a short period in her younger days she actually lived opposite to Enid Blyton!
We hope Pam enjoys reading The Faraway Tree over the weekend.
Carpet Bowls with 'Gemma'
The lower lounge was full for carpet bowls today as we introduced our new Activities Assistant; Gemma to the competitive ways of the Collingtree Park Bowls team!
Featuring newly named Trick-Shot Joan, and Semi-Pro Mary!
Celebrating Afternoon Tea Week
Our residents enjoyed Afternoon Tea week with freshly baked cakes courtesy of our chef Jennifer this week. You can tell Joan was surprised to see all those cakes!
National Allotment Week
Our residents on Daisy Lane honoured the occasion by creating a herb garden. We spent the morning choosing which seeds to plant, and reading all about each type of plant. We have planted the seeds and look forward to watching them grow!
Catching Some Rays
Another sunny day at Collingtree Park means a garden stroll - checking up on our plants from gardening club and having a chin-wag in the sunshine! Derek and Pam were very impressed with the Marigolds we planted a few weeks ago, which have 'come out lovely!'.
