Activities at Corrina Lodge Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Life at Corrina Lodge Care Home
Brighton Marathon Achievement Team Corrina
Corrina Lodge are proud to congratulate Sharon and Rosie from the Activities Team on recently running Brighton Marathon together to raise funds for two charities that are incredibly close to their hearts, Pancreatic Cancer and The Brain Charity.
Rosie only recently took up running and this was both Sharon and Rosie’s first ever marathon which has been an incredible journey for them. They crossed the finish line together and have been overwhelmed with all the support and encouragement they’ve received from residents, their families and staff.
During this journey it’s been wonderful to share training stories with residents and to find out about some of their amazing sporting achievements, which include marathons, cross country, sky diving and tennis, to name but a few. This has been really inspiring and we look forward to supporting residents to reconnect with some of these hobbies.
Volunteer Group Spring Gardening
We were so grateful to welcome back Jules and her amazing team at GROHE Limited who so kindly gave up their time again today to spend time with residents gardening, enjoying some games and sharing a chat and a laugh. We planted a lot of seeds ready for the summer, including sunflowers and sweet peas. We are excited to nurture them and enjoy them in our lovely garden. We are looking forward to welcoming the team back in July.
Tap about Town Show
What am incredible afternoon we had welcoming Katie and her fantastic Tap About Town Show to our Corrina Community. Katie brings so much warmth and charm with her, not to mention incredible talent. We were all mesmerised by her wonderful tap dancing show. Dancing, singing and laughter filled the home. Thank you Katie, we very much look forward to welcoming her back to help celebrate our Kings Coronation Celebrations.
Community Matters
The Corrina Lodge Community are proud to be part of the wider community. To acknowledge National Nutrition and Hydration Week, Debbie Twinn, our lovely Customer Relationship Manager delivered goodie bags containing home-baked shortbread and water bottles (plus a few extra treats) to local domiciliary care agencies Watershed Care Services and Helping Hands, whose teams dedicate themselves to caring for our seniors in our Community, to encourage them to take care of themselves too.
St. Patrick's Day Celebrations
Residents and Staff celebrated St Patricks Day together with a tipple of Irish coffee prepared by our very own head chef Kathleen whilst listening and enjoying the vibrant dance and sounds of River Dance.
”May your troubles be less, your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness comes through your door”.
Spring is in the Air
It is wonderful to see signs of spring are appearing in our garden, daffodils and crocuses reminding us that warmer days and spending time are on the way. We thought we would bring some of that joy indoors and enjoyed some flower arranging together. Such beautiful colours and scents, residents loved arranging their choice of flowers, with of course some daffodils in honour of St David David’s Day.
