It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can.

Burns celebrations

Here at South Grange we prepared a traditional Burns Night feast to the tune of bagpipes.

To honour the famous Scottish poet, we hosted a poetry and music session to learn more about the Scottish Country Dancing and the Ceilidh and to mark the Scottish institution, including giving the time-honoured address to the ‘Great chieftain O’ the pudding’ race’ – the haggis.

Our tables were specially decorated with flowers and Scottish flags for the occasion as our residents enjoyed delicious Scot Broth, Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, Cranachan and Scottish Shortbread], prepared by our talented chef.

Sounds of the 70s

Residents spent the afternoon listening and dancing to different music from the 70’s followed by a 70’s quiz and a selection of retro sweets and reminiscing about their dancing years.

Bird feeders

Residents enjoyed making bird balls using lard and different types of bird seeds. Residents used pinecones and silicone moulds to add the ingredients to, forming easy shapes for the birds to have access. Residents enjoyed exploring the garden to find their favourite choice of spot for the feeders to go.

Birthday celebrations

South Grange celebrated in style the 50th birthday of Shona, one of our residents from our Seven Arches unit. Shona had a lovely day receiving lovely cards and presents.
