The activities programme includes regular trips utilising the homes minibus, these include a number of destinations of local interest. We are particularly proud of the relationship we have built with Peterborough Sailability. This registered charity offers the opportunities to those with restricted mobility to enjoy the thrill of sailing on the open water and the sense of independence that brings in specially adapted boats.

Scrabble Club!!!
Here at Longueville Court we encourage our residents to have a go at new or long-forgotten interests, especially on our Memory Lane community. We feel that when you participate in activities, it helps to keep the little grey cells working and gives our residents a sense of pride and purpose!! Here are two of our residents taking on Karina from our activities team, in a game of scrabble! Apparently it was a very close scoring game!!!

Our residents are looking forward to getting them finished and put up around our garden areas!!
