Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Paula Lourenco
Hello, my name is Paula and I’m the Activities coordinator at Tewkesbury Fields care home. I’ve joined Barchester healthcare in 2020.
As part of the lifestyle enrichment team, I will be organising daily activities, ensuring that residents have varied activities to choose from each day. I love enriching our residents’ lives, creating memories and be able to provide meaningful activities to each one of the residents living at Tewkesbury fields.

Life at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home
"Good food and a glass of gin and tonic!" - by 103 years old, Marion
What a fabulous day celebrating Marion’s super special 103rd birthday!
Marion has been overwhelmed with such a lovely day celebrating with family, life time friends, old neighbours, friends from Bredon WI where Marion was president for 3 years, along with staff and residents at Tewkesbury Fields!
The team got in touch with the local community and tried to arrange as many cards as possible; Marion has received 121 birthday cards! We all enjoyed listening to Rob playing the piano and also some singing. PianoHedgehog
Some great photos taken, including a family photo of the 4 generations together
Life is good at Tewkesbury Fields!
On a glorious day with the sun shining, as well the regular walks, residents have been making the most of it outside in our beautiful gardens.
Here is Richard, enjoying a chat with Heather, one of our amazing care team members! With the sound of the birds, beautiful gardens...what better way to spend time enjoying the fresh air and the glorious sunshine?
Guided tour of Tewkesbury Abbey
It was a privilege to visit Tewkesbury Abbey, and enjoy a guided tour by the Chairman and Trustee John Jeffreys from Tewkesbury Abbey Foundation! 900 years of History! And one of the finest medieval church buildings in the country!
Did you know, Tewkesbury Abbey was bought for £483 by the people of Tewkesbury at the dissolution of its monastery in 1540 to serve as their parish Church?
We got to learn this, but so much more about physical and spiritual needs, worship, the monks, the Tewkesbury through the war, tombs of Princes, artwork, stories and memories of its people, peace, and so much more....
Flower arranging
Residents enjoyed getting involved in the flower arranging.
The home was filled with floral scents, colours, and pretty sights! The beautiful flower creations were then proudly displayed around the home for everyone to enjoy.
At Tewkesbury Fields, we are always looking for a variety of events and activities to offer to our residents. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind.
2 Valais blacknose and 4 pigmy goats
What a fantastic time with students from Bredon School and Lodge Valais & friends who kindly brought 2 valais blacknose and 4 pigmy goats for everyone to see!
Not to mention the cuteness, there was a lot of fun and laughter together.
While meeting the students, residents truly enjoyed sharing some stories of when they were younger; some had farms and talked about their work experiences.
There were so many cuddles too!
Thanks to all at Bredon School and Lodge Valais, for teaming up together and bringing so much joy to all residents and staff at Tewkesbury Fields!
Towel printing workshop
Residents have enjoyed another workshop at Bushley Village Hall. There was a a range of choices available; the residents chose tea towel printing.
After some practice on paper, residents got brave to create their design on their own tea towel; from a great choice of colours, to the Indian wooden printing blocks, the event was amazing.
Not forgetting to mention the delicious cakes and refreshments available! Thanks again for inviting us! Residents had an amazing time and were very proud of their fantastic work! Don't they look beautiful?
