Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

We were very privileged to be part of the one-year anniversary celebrations for Age UK at the Black Bear in Tewkesbury. Our home deputy manager Jess made a wonderful cake that was enjoyed by all. Music, prosecco and a good sing a long made for a fantastic morning of celebrations and as always there was plenty of laughter and chatter!This is a community group that thrives with friendliness and makes everyone feel welcome.

Residents at Tewkesbury Fields are always happy to learn something new!We've had a lovely afternoon with Vicky from Dovecote Willow and got to learn how to make a willow pumpkin.It was very interesting to hear and see the demonstration of weaving willow. Vicky made it look so easy.Residents also got to see some of the fantastic work that Vicky does, including a hedgehog, hearts and an obelisk.

Elvis was in the building this afternoon!Many of our residents absolutely love listening to Elvis Presley songs, so we could only organise a wonderful & special afternoon for the big fans!We had a brilliant time dancing and enjoyed singing the old classics, this afternoon brought back many memories!Thank you so much Bob for visiting us and bringing so much fun .
