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.

Balloon Tennis

Here at Thistle Hill we are very focused on our activities as we recognise the importance of exercises to the residents. Balloon Tennis is a game in which seated players swat a balloon instead of a tennis ball, back and forth.

The game was originally designed by physical therapists – gentle exercise for the arms as well as a great opportunity to socialise, and we did just that as part of our Wimbledon themed activities. Balloon tennis is really popular and we had so much fun.

The Queen's Birthday Tea Party

We hosted a tea party in recognition of the Queen's birthday. Residents had a lovely afternoon, with themed royal and party music playing, and plenty of refreshments available.

Big Lunch

Our Deighton Unit hosted a 'Big Lunch' event with the theme of 'ladies who dine'. The ladies enjoyed the finest red wine to go with their Sunday dinner, whilst being waited on personally and having a good ol' natter, complete with ambient lighting and soothing piano music.
