Activities at Hunters Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Ben Sandall
Hello I am Ben and I am the Activities Coordinator at Hunters. I started working at Hunters as part of the hospitality team, but when a vacancy came up on the activities team I jumped at the opportunity. I have seen how important a varied activities programme is and the team ensure we offer something for everyone including regular past times.

Life at Hunters Care Home
Folk Entertainment
We welcomed back country and folk singer Andy Yapp for the New Year. He entertained us all with traditional folk songs and classic country songs from Johnny Cash and Hank Williams.
103rd Birthday!
This week one of the residents celebrated a very special birthday reaching 103 years of age. Four generations of her family came together to celebrate the day with birthday cake, wine and sherry, with the whole home invited to come along and join in on this very special occasion.
Christmas Party
This week at Hunters we held our Christmas party on General. Everyone had a wonderful time, with a delicious buffet provided by our kitchen tea and seasonal music from Steve and Sheila.
Walks with Hawks
we welcomed back Walks with Hawks for a seasonal 'Birds of Prey' display. Clare from Walks with Hawks gave an interesting and informative talk, but what really delighted residents was the chance to have a close-up look with the birds flying to hand in the lounge.
Cirencester Primary School Carols
We were treated at Hunters recently as the children from Cirencester Primary School came in and entertained the residents with seasonal carols. Afterwards the children stayed behind for refreshments sitting and chatting with the residents about their plans for Christmas.
Memory Lane Christmas Party
We held our annual Christmas party for the residents of Memory Lane. As usual, the kitchen team outdid themselves by providing a delicious buffet lunch.
