Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

This Easter, we are supporting local charities and businesses by giving hampers to raise money to a charity of their choice.

We’ve welcomed Rachel Langdon local Councillor and landlady of the Nottingham Arms Tewkesbury,

Libby and Patrick Cleal and their children from Seren's Wish Charity, two members of Twyning Community Parade Team

And Carol Crilly, who won the regional Pride of Britain Award 2023, to receive their hampers.

We’ve travelled all the way back to the 50s!

Speakers Virginia and David from Gloucestershire Local History Association, visited Tewkesbury Fields and presented the talk and demonstration called "Those were the days". They've got such a fabulous collection of reminisce items that it got every resident talking about stories and memories from their past.

Everyone reminisced about the Queen's coronation, baby's clothes, toys, teenagers clothing, school items, fashion, smoking, simple things such as a collar box, and so much more!

It was a very knowledgeable talk and a fantastic afternoon.

We've welcomed Jenny from Wren’s Birds of Prey who brought three beautiful owls.

Residents greatly enjoyed learning about the owls and how important conservation is for the UK to continue to have such incredible birds living in the wild.

It was such an incredible experience to be up so close, to touch, hold each of them, and to include bedroom visits.

Thank you Jenny for a great afternoon, it was a fantastic experience.

Some of the team members and residents got to see this marvellous exhibition by Luke Jerram!

"Internally lit, Gaia comes into its own during the evening when the light is low and there is a more profound sense of what it might be like to see Earth from space. A specially made surround sound composition by BAFTA award winning Composer Dan Jones is played alongside the sculpture. In Greek Mythology Gaia is the personification of the Earth".

A fabulous experience that our lovely residents got to enjoy.

On Boxing day, residents received a morning surprise from Santa and the Elf delivering presents to everyone.

Each resident received a meaningful gift which they’ve enjoyed opening.

In the afternoon, there were a choice of mince pies, Christmas cake and shortbread biscuits, accompanied with tea, coffee and mulled wine, that was enjoyed by all.

The home was filled with the spirit of the Christmas season, and the joy and smiles on the residents’ faces were truly heart-warming.

Oh, no it isn't! Oh, yes it is!

Residents, families and staff have had a wonderful afternoon out watching "Beauty and the Beast", at the Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury.

One Resident, said: “It was lovely to see the different generations on stage and the interaction with the audience was wonderful to be part of. Having moved to the area to be near my family the sense of community spirit is evident to see in Tewkesbury and the trip to the theatre is one of many I have enjoyed living in the area." What a fabulous performance!
