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.

Royal Wedding Celebrations
Budding Opera singe, Alysha serenaded residents, visitors and members of our local WI in our beautiful Bronte Suite lounge. The party then moved into to our equally beautiful Bronte dining room for a wedding high tea fit for a princess, freshly prepared by our award winning Chef.
Volunteer Recognition Day
Our volunteers are wonderful; they give up their time to improve the lives of others, which is no small thing, and the difference they make is amazing.
To say ‘thank you’, we celebrated Volunteer Recognition Day in style with flowers and champagne. The above photo was taken on our terrace, which overlooks the beautiful marina.
Would you would like to volunteer? To find out more, please speak to our General Manager, Katie Daysley, or click here.
