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
Royal Wedding Celebrations
Everyone was very excited for the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan. We had an elegant lunch wearing our best dresses and suits, which was followed by the live televised coverage of the ceremony. Congratulations to the happy couple!
Carers Week
Care staff enjoyed the fabulous Cadbury chocolate hamper from Barchester as an appreciation for all the hard work and dedication shown to residents.
Canal Cruise
We had a fantastic day out on a narrowboat at Blisworth Marina. We enjoyed a picnic lunch whilst listening to the sound of the water and watching the different animals in the fields nearby.
Story Trail
As part of our passion for building links with the local community, we have started a story writing project. The aim of this project is for one school to write the beginning of a story and then pass the story on to another school to write the next part – and so on. The residents will then complete the ending of the stories. The first part of these stories is in our reception area, so please come in and have a read.
Dementia Awareness Week
We have been busy working together to make clay Forget-Me-Not flowers. The flowers have been hand-painted by residents, and each flower is unique. The flowers are being displayed at the front of our home during Dementia Awareness Week (21st - 27th May).
Forget-Me-Not
On Memory Lane, we have been getting ready for Dementia Awareness Week by making Forget-Me-Not flowers out of clay. Once the flowers were dry, we painted them blue and yellow. They will be on display during Dementia Awareness Week, so please come and take a look between 21st and 27th May,
