Activities at Leonard Lodge
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
Adorable Animal Therapy
Our wonderful partnership with the Performing Pets animal therapy organisation continues to be hugely popular with our residents and staff.
This week the animal visitors were a pair of gorgeous kid goats. Everyone in the home fell in love instantly and we all wanted the opportunity to feed them.
Our animal therapy programme is a cornerstone of the activities calendar and every visit is great fun for everyone involved.
Chinese New Year
Our wonderful Chef and Activities team stepped up to make Chinese New Year fun and delicious!
With Chinese cultural activities and superb food, residents had a fantastic time celebrating this important date in the Chinese calendar.
Welcome to the Year Of The Tiger.
Our Favourite Singers Return
This week we have welcomed back not one, but two of our favourite singers.
Robert Jerome and Liam Joseph and both been in to perform their brilliant sets for us this week. Robert always brings fun and energy to his performances here, whilst our female residents are always excited to see and have a flirt with Liam.
Live music is a cornerstone of our activities and lifestyle programme at Leonard Lodge with different live performers booked every month.
Burns Night Celebrations
Burns Night at Leonard Lodge was celebrated with the traditional Ode To The Haggis, readings of Robert Burns' poems and a delicious Scottish and Burns inspired menu.
Residents were delighted by the chef's performance and the menu.
New Year's Eve Party
At Leonard Lodge our New Year's Eve party involved plenty of our favourite drinks, silly games, watching the fireworks and having a laugh with our friends.
We are looking forward to 2022 with optimism.
Mrs Claus Visits Leonard Lodge
Residents and staff had a fantastic afternoon with the amazing Tracy Lea (Mrs Claus). There was lots of singing and dancing to get us all into the Christmas spirit.
