Kelly Sherwin
I started at Tandridge Heights in 2020. Previous to this, I have been working as a carer sine 2010, which has helped me to understand the needs, wants and the individuality of all of our residents.
My main responsibility is provide a varied and engaging activities schedule every day for our residents; this helps to keep them involved in social and uplifting activities. We love to have parties to celebrate birthdays, national days and special occasions.

Pottering Painting
We spent an afternoon learning about the process of making pottery, and were then lucky enough to have a go ourselves and then decorate it all too.
Intergenerational Playgroup
Tandridge Heights welcomes a Toddler group, Thelma’s playgroup, every Monday. Team members and residents have found that intergenerational meetings very beneficial for both toddlers and residents.
The home has grown connections with a local charity ‘Their Voice’, where the residents get a chance to volunteer doing various activities, such as, clothes donations and preparing hospital bags for mothers and their newborns.
The volunteering activities become popular around the home, even Thelma’s Playgroup participate in donating clothing. Tandridge Heights focuses on residents' well-being and mental health throughout community engagement.
