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
Tuesday and Fridays our residents enjoy chair yoga with our star Yvette!
Through the different poses of chair yoga, muscles can be built and strengthened. This, along with flexibility, helps to improve balance as well as mobility.
Getting Ready for Crufts
With Crufts starting today we thought it was only right that our residents had some quality time with sweet Ava the pug! Everyone enjoyed a cuddle and Ava enjoyed lots of treats and fuss. Maybe we will see her on Crufts next year!
Happy Birthday 'Joan'
March is a busy birthday month for us at Collingtree Park, but every resident enjoys a homemade birthday cake. Joan's cake was made by our Second Chef, the wonderful Tamara. We all hope you've had the happiest of birthdays 'joyful Joan'!
