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
Christmas Outing
A Christmas outing to the local Garden centre was thoroughly enjoyed. After tea and scones in the café, we perused the centre, looking for Christmas decorations and gift ideas whilst listening to the Christmas carols. Many purchases were made and everyone was happy and in high festive spirits.
Rockin' Around the Xmas Tree
We rocked around the Christmas tree with a resident favourite, Johnny Red. Everyone was dancing the night away, eating, drinking and being merry as we anticipated the arrival of Father Christmas.
Elf Day
A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored our GM, Caroline, to wear an elf outfit for the day! So far, we have raised £85 in total, which will be donated to the Alzheimer's Society. The residents all had a giggle as Caroline ‘skipped’ around the home to show off her jingly outfit!
Christmas Church Service
We had St Giles' Church join us in the home for a lovely Christmas service. As well as singing some carols, we listened to Martin share the story of Jesus and the true meaning of Christmas.
Tree Decorating
We have been very busy decorating the home all week. Everyone helped out with decorating the trees; so far, we have 5 trees in the home, so it was all hands on deck to help get them looking Christmassy.
Carpet Bowling
We enjoyed a fun afternoon of bowling, which was enjoyed by everyone who participated. Not one person walked past the room without popping in for a go! Everyone got very competitive trying to get a strike!
