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
Stonestreet Singalong
Residents enjoyed a presentation of old photos of local towns by Stonestreet, along with a singalong of old songs, and a special requests section, which bought tears to one or two eyes as they brought back memories, both happy and sad. The residents all agreed that it was an interesting afternoon and they hope to repeat the experience in the future.
Taste of Italy
We held a Taste of Italy event, featuring pasta, pizza and Italian wine, which went down very well. The event was well-attended by residents, families and friends, and there was even some dancing, despite the room being really crowded.
Flowers & Hair
Tuesday is the day our hairdresser, Diane, visits. The ladies always clamour for an appointment; they love being pampered and emerging looking beautiful and relaxed, as you can see in this photo of Audrey.
The Ladybirds Return
We were really happy to welcome Leonard Lodge favourites, The Ladybirds, into our home again. As always, the ladies put on a dazzling display of song and dance routines from the 1940s through to the 1980s. The residents loved singing along and everybody agreed it was a great performance.
Celebrating Success
After the residents meeting in reception, we were really pleased to see Jenny and Alan presented with their Long Service Awards. Congrratulations to both of them and we hope they will be with us for many more years.
The Jolly Boys Return
We were thrilled to welcome The Jollys Boys back into our home. Len and the boys provided a great afternoon of fun and entertainment, and we would like to thank them for giving up their free time to visit us.
