Activities at Station Court Care Home

Station Court created a scarecrow to commemorate the fallen as part of the home's 75th VE virtual celebrations. Stevie the solider scarecrow is displayed proudly sitting at the front of our home.

Scarecrows are appearing across the North East, showing support for key workers, and was part of an initiative set up on Facebook. Stay Home Scarecrows now have over 700 appearing across the region to show support for people who are working on the frontline, and Station Court is proud to be involved. 

The scarecrows are sharing joy across the region, with local children taking selfies as they spot these wonderful creations on their daily exercise.

A big thank you to our staff doing a quick whip around for our local food bank at times like these it is essential communities come together and we help one another where we can. Wansbeck Valley Food Bank were very grateful and are delivering to those in need.

It was also pointed out that Ashington donate the most food to the service for surrounding areas, isn’t that wonderful!

Three members of staff braved the very cold north sea on boxing day to raise funds for the resident fund, thank you to all, who sponsored us.

The ladies in our knit & natter group enjoyed knitting scarves for our help the homeless campaign, these were gift bagged and given out with other gifts that staff and family members had donated to people who were very grateful. A big thank you to all involved.

Our 101 year old war veteran, Jim, was still able to attend the Remembrance Day parade and participate in the march through our local town to the memorial garden for the memorial service. It was our honour to be part of this with him.
