Activities at Snowdrop Place Care Home

The building work at Snowdrop Place has been completed and the keys have now been handed to the General Manager, Sarah Davies!

We can’t wait for the home to open to our first residents in April and we are so excited to see the home full of life!

For Random Act of Kindness Day on 17th February, we decided our act of kindness would be delivering a hamper of essentials to a local bereavement charity, Butterflies Bereavement Support. They have just opened a new support centre in Eastleigh and things like tea, coffee and biscuits are essential when they have visitors. Paul who works at the charity was very grateful for this donation.

Highwood's, the company responsible for building Snowdrop Place, took time out of their busy schedule to help give local Pavilion Pirates Pre-school a new playground.

With funding from Barchester and a local charity run by the Co-op, they were able to make this lovely transformation possible.

As we are naming our main café at Snowdrop Place ‘Strawberry Fields’, we reached out to the children in the local community and asked them to create strawberries that we can put up in the café. We have been overwhelmed by the response and received some fantastic strawberries.

At Snowdrop Place, we have taken part in 'Plant Britain', run by BBC Countryfile. When building a new care home, it is important to encourage nature and ensure we are still supporting the environment. Snowdrop Place will have, in total, an amazing 753 trees planted around the site. We are so excited to watch them blossom and bloom!

We were lucky enough to receive amazing Christmas treats from M&S Winchester’s store manager, Lee White. We then ran a Facebook competition for these to be won.
