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
Cheese and Wine anyone?
We have enjoyed a tasty and sociable Cheese & Wine afternoon at Collingtree Park.
Balloon Exercise
A little gentle balloon swatting loosened up our arms and shoulders at Collingtree Park today.
House!
We love our bingo afternoons so much at Collingtree Park that we have special boards to help our caller and players keep track of their numbers.
Balloon exercise
Balloons are a great way to keep our joints moving so at Collingtree Park our regular balloon tennis sessions give residents a chance to gently reach and stretch their arms, shoulders and backs without any sudden movements. And best of all...it is great fun, too!
Being creative with ceramics
At Collingtree Park we had a wonderful afternoon painting ceramic pots, plates and coasters. Residents were very proud of their finished items and are now proudly displaying them in their bedrooms.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Collingtree Park joined Collingtree Park Golf Club to hold a coffee morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, and also to remember a resident's granddaughter, who unfortunately passed away on the 8th September 2015 aged 26 years.
Residents joined up with the Collingtree Village residents for our coffee morning and to indulge in the wonderful array of homemade cakes, which were enjoyed sitting out on the golf club veranda.
Everyone was so generous and we raised a total of £672.45, which isn't enjoyable morning for a fantastic worthy cause.
