Activities at Melbourn Springs Care Home
Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is a major focus of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat will always be welcomed.

Life at Melbourn Springs Care Home
Cycle Litter Pick
Incredible what you can find by the side of the road! Our Home Services Advisor Dan joined the Royston and District Round Table on their community cycle litter pick and a seemingly clean verge filled up 5 bin bags of rubbish! What an amazing way to meet new people, get some exercise and help keep Britain tidy too!
A warm welcome at the Royston & District Chamber of Commerce
Dan attended the Royston and District Chamber of Commerce Business Breakfast at the Jolly Postie in Royston. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the chamber hugely welcoming as Dan spoke about Melbourn Springs and his role as a Home Services Advisor in the local community. The chamber was also treated to a hugely informative presentation about the outstanding work of the Foodbanks of Cambridge and Royston and how we can all play a part in supporting local people in crisis. The breakfast is held once a month at the Jolly Postie or The Old Bull Inn, Royston and for more information or to book in advance please email: info@roystonchamber.org
Carers in Hertfordshire Legal Planning Workshop in collaboration with Setfords Solicitors
Dan joined Legal Executive Gemma Young from Setfords Solicitors at the Carers in Hertfordshire Legal Planning Workshop in Royston. Planning for later life can be an absolute minefield, but with workshops such as these many concerns and questions about Lasting Power of Attorney are able to be addressed. Everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed the event and all the exceptionally helpful information that Gemma presented.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance and Melbourn Springs
Dan was very fortunate to meet Barbara McGee, the Community Fundraising Area Manager at the East Anglian Air Ambulance in Cambridge. During his visit, Dan was able to meet the team and learn even more about the amazing work that the charity does in and around the local area. The service now operates 365 days, covering over 5,000 square miles (13,000 km2) and a population of approximately 3.5 million! First Aid is clearly just as important today as it has always been and now with defibrillator training too we all can play a part in an emergency. Watch out for our First Aid training session which will be hosting at Melbourn Springs very soon!
Melbourn Springs: The Journey so Far...
Nearly a year ago Melbourn Springs Care Home broke ground which was a very special moment for all involved in this exciting project. Ged and all his team at McGoff Construction have been working tirelessly to ensure that 9 months later the external structure of Melbourn Springs is nearly complete! The countdown to topping out and our Marketing Suite opening has well and truly begun....
