Activities at Tennyson Wharf Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part 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 are always welcomed.
Rebecca Harrowing
Hi my name is Rebecca, I started working at Tennyson Wharf in July 2024.
Previous to starting at Tennyson Wharf I have lived in many countries and worked as a supply teacher and administrator in Bahrain in the Middle East - I have also worked in scouting programme groups in both the USA and UK.
Whilst I have worked with children for a lot of my life, working with the elderly is always been something I have been passionate about. I believe that everybody has a story to tell and our residents life stories all add value to Tennyson Wharf.
Outside of work I enjoy walking, gardening and going to the cinema.

Life at Tennyson Wharf Care Home
International Bomber Command Centre
Tennyson Wharf felt truly honored to go on a tour around the site to learn so much about the history and hear touching, personal stories. Learning about the survival statistics for those brave men and the facts about what they endured was breath taking. What a special, educational opportunity to visit!
Welcome Autumn
Working together to create a beautiful autumnal display in our reception area for everyone to enjoy. With flower arranging and autumn inspired crafts, there was a mixture of things to do.
