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.

Tennyson Wharf's Guide Dogs Fundraiser
In May, Tennyson Wharf's Zoe Sheridon and Dawn Bailey did a 24 hour walk around Lincoln to raise money for the Guide Dogs. They both said it was quite tough and they needed a well deserved break after.
They raised a fantastic £385.00 for the Guide Dogs and we had Quaver and his amazing owners attend our home so that we could present them with our Cheque.
Thank you to everyone who accompanied Dawn and Zoe on a few of their walks and thank you to everyone who donated.
