Activities at Leonard Lodge Care Home
Our activities team offer a wide range of social events, from the very popular Friday morning bingo, to gentle exercise sessions, skittles, regular animal visits and arts & crafts sessions. We are fortunate to have a team of volunteers who stop by weekly to provide additional support, allowing residents the opportunity for one-to-one sessions. These sessions could include anything, even something as simple as playing a game of Scrabble or just having a cup of tea and a chat. We believe that it is essential to support people in such a way that they are able to continue to live full and happy lives doing the things that they enjoy.
Lynn Amiri
My name is Lynn and I lead the Activities Team here at Leonard Lodge.
Since working at Leonard Lodge I have dedicated myself to ensuring that each of our residents can continue to partake in the hobbies that they have enjoyed for years. It is important that all of the residents here have access to life enriching, fun and social activities.
The whole home supports my team and I to organise activities, events and entertainment tailored to every residents preferences, abilities and needs. Each year we have a fantastically full calendar, and we look forward to the future when we can invite the families of residents to join us in the home again.
I am married with two children and two rather annoying rescue cats. I lived in Italy for a number of years and love all Italian food, especially when somebody else cooks it for me! I love to read, especially crime novels. I am a regular theatre goer with a passion for musicals. I like to sing and dance (albeit badly!).

Life at Leonard Lodge Care Home
Games day
We love our games from bingo to scrabble to dominoes with staff, friends and volunteers, we had a great day.
Painting Masterclass
Painting Masterclass
We are keeping busy creating more artworks. Painting keeps our hands flexible and improves grip so we can hold those important cups of tea.
Grand National Weekend
Grand National
Yesterday we chose our horses and today we got ready for the Grand National by trying on some jockeys hats before watching the race.
Van Gogh art session
Recreating Van Gogh's Irises
We got creative and produced our interpretation of Van Gogh's Irises. We find painting relaxing and there is plenty of time to chat as well.
Vinyl Sounds
Do you remember vinyl records? T
he small ones were called 45s and then we had albums which were 33rpm. We had a kind donation of records and today we played guess the singers and had discussions about miniskirts and found out which residents dared to wear them.
All Siants school came to sing for us
School Visit
Today we enjoyed a fantastic visit from All Saints School for an Easter celebration including singing and readings from the bible. The children brought Easter cards that they had made and some excellent stained glass window pictures.
