Activities at Mallard Court Care Home

We are having a fabulous time this morning, here at The Clubhouse at Bridlington Rugby Club. 
It is Saint Catherine's Bridlington Support Group Coffee Morning, raising funds in aid of Saint Catherine's and what a lovely atmosphere.

The venue is very well attended with a variety of stalls and delicious refreshments including scones with a cuppa!
We look forward to the next event, and wish to say a big thank you for the invitation.

Staff and residents at Mallard Court care home in Bridlington have invited neighbours and friends from the local community to their free monthly cancer support coffee morning.

Members of the café spoke candidly and bravely about their experiences of cancer and how it touched them, Patricia a resident at the home said “I lost my Mum to cancer when she was 50 years old, it was no age to lose your Mum, from there I became a Macmillan volunteer at Bridlington and also Scarborough hospital offering support to others, it’s so important that people realize support is out there”

Betty another resident has endured skin cancer 3 times and said “it’s so important to accept help and support and to never suffer on your own”

On Thursday 13th March at 2.30pm, residents and members of the community are looking forward to welcoming members of the local police force to join the home at the Mallard Court Care Home for their ‘Coffee with a Coppa’ event.  PCSO Len and PC Tricia will speak to the audience about their own career paths, why they wished to join the force and talk to the group about the latest goings-on from within the town, before taking questions from those in attendance.

Ange Dooley-Widd, the General Manager has extended the invitation throughout the local area, stating that “to say thank you for all the great work our emergency services do for us, we here at Mallard Court Care Home are inviting all members of the police, ambulance and fire services to pop in and take their duty break on us for free.
 

General Manager Ange Dooley-Widd and the team at Mallard Court are delighted to celebrate their young volunteer, Grace, who is just 11 years old. Grace's regular visits bring immense joy to all the residents.

Activity Coordinator Tracy presented Grace with a special Mallard Court Volunteer certificate to acknowledge her hard work and dedication. The celebration was dedicated to recognizing not only Grace but also the incredible efforts of volunteers who go above and beyond for our residents and in the wider community. They provide invaluable assistance by engaging in life enrichment activities, and offering meaningful companionship that our residents deeply appreciate. It was the perfect opportunity to express our gratitude for their outstanding contributions.
 

It was time for our free monthly community morning, as we welcomed back our friends and partners from Alicia from Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust  and Michelle from Active Communities as we welcomed residents, relatives and friends for a morning of social fun and musical entertainment courtesy of renowned local harpist - John Dalton. 

John entertained his audience with a spin on favourite songs and classic sing-a-longs. 

There were plenty of sweet treats and refreshments courtesy of our marvellous team in the kitchen. 

Residents from around the home gathered for our 'Mocktails and Memories' event, which soon turned into 'Cocktails and Memories'! Our residents and colleagues enjoyed sharing stories from the past and toasting to good times ahead.

Our team were on hand with a variety of refreshing recipes for our residents to sample and discuss with the Espresso Martini being a favourite drink enjoyed by all.
