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
Namaste Chair Yoga
Chair Yoga with Yvette this morning.
Our residents really enjoy keeping fit and strengthening their muscles, so our activities schedule incorporates 3 sessions per week; including G-Fitness, Chair Yoga and Carpet Bowls and Floor Games.
Life is a walk in the park!
Over the weekend, carer Stacey took Avis and Pam for a stroll around our local golf course to make the most of the sunshine!
We are very lucky at Collingtree park to be so close to a place where our residents can enjoy a walk and a cup of coffee in the afternoon at the Collingtree Park Golf Club
Charles The Carpet Bowls King
Competitive as ever, our carpet bowls champions with Charles taking this week's prize!
Games allow residents to still get the arm and leg movements that you like to provide in exercise classes while having fun. They also provide opportunities for fun competition as well as prizes that can be used as motivation.
June and 'Bella' Togetherness
Resident Cat Bella and June enjoying some quality time this morning.
Animal-assisted interventions can improve self-esteem and confidence in people with dementia. It can also promote quality of life and encourage independence. If a person with dementia is having trouble communicating with others or having conversations, looking after a pet may help them to stay engaged and involved.
Bella and June would certainly agree!
Celebrating the Coronation of King Charles!
Our staff and residents enjoyed watching the Coronation together in the lounge, followed by freshly baked cakes fit for a king! In the afternoon, residents enjoyed a performance from Neil Richardson, with song and dance over glass of Pimms and an afternoon tea buffet. A lovely time was had by all here at Collingtree Park Care Home.
