Activities at Trinity Manor 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.

Hi, My name is Bibesh Shrestha, Activity Coordinator
Having more than 10 years of professional experience in multiple sectors at different places have given me the confidence to get involved in any challenging environment where my skills and experience will be instrumental in achieving personal and social goals.
Being a motivator and influencer to the people around me has always been my passion, and also part of my profession. As an Activity Coordinator, my ultimate goal is to transfer my energy and spread my happiness.
Being active and full of energy with humbleness is what defines me and transferring that energy to the people around me has been my prime interest.

Life at Trinity Manor Care Home
Terrific Trees
What an absolute honour it was for the home to be represented at this year's Christmas tree festival, here in Sherborne recently...
The title of our tree, 'Spinning a Yarn', was created by our fabulous residents, who worked hard with Activities Co-ordinator, Laura, making pom-poms to decorate it with, as well as helping to find quotes to do with Christmas by some famous authors, actors and other well known people.
Armed with everything they needed, Home Services Advisor, Rebekah & Laura, went off to set up the tree in the local Methodist church.
Having decorated their lovely, fresh Christmas tree, Rebekah & Laura were utterly delighted with the end result and also the fact that it took pride of place inside the church doorway - the first tree you see inside the porch!
Later on that week, we bussed the residents down to the church for a closer inspection of the finished tree, whilst also scoping out other trees in the festival - Fabulous job well done everyone!
Lantern Parade!
What a magical, frosty evening recently as friends, family & residents of the home came together for wonderfully festive lantern parade…
We invited everyone to join us with their homemade lanterns and as darkness fell, everyone paraded through our frosty garden and around the outside of our home, before stopping in front of the home as our friend, Barry, formally officially switched on the Christmas lights on our home.
With the outside suitably aglow with lights, we all then gathered in our warm café area for some delicious hot chocolate with marshmallows & cream, before we announced our winning lantern.
The winner was Kitt, who did a tremendous job creating a wonderful lantern, which everyone agreed was a very worthy winner!
CONGRATULATIONS KITT!
Thank you to all who made the effort to join us on this VERY chilly night – but what a fun way to end the day!
Thank you to the families for letting us use your pictures in this post.
Christmas Jumper Day Shenanigans!
With Christmas Jumper Day upon us, we love nothing more here at Trinity Manor, than a good excuse to get dressed up and spread lots of happiness and laughter around the home...
During the morning, the residents had their usual exercise class with Sherborne's answer to Mr Motivator, the lovely Craig from Communifit, who was also impressively dressed for Christmas Jumper Day too, before then being thoroughly entertained by a festive parade of staff in their Christmassy tops!
Having danced their way around the lounge, everyone cheered for their 3 most favourite jumpers - Vicky from Housekeeping, Phill from Maintenance and Kayte, also from Housekeeping.
Well done everyone for a very fun-filled day here in the home for all!
Spreading Some Festive Cheer!
If you were out and about in Sherborne this afternoon, you may have spotted our minibus with residents and a rather large Santa in it, who were out spreading a little, festive Trinity Manor cheer in our community by delivering some yummy mince pies...
As a home we love to give back, especially to those who have supported us and worked with us, in a variety of different ways throughout the year, so this afternoon, Home Services Advisor, Rebekah and Activities Co-ordinator, Laura (AKA Santa), along with residents, Isabel, Doreen and Diana, all went off in a very festive mood to spread a little bit of Christmas cheer to our friends locally.
Singing some loud Christmas carols as they drove, they made stops at the Yeatman Hospital, Silverstars Care Ltd, The Gryphon School, The Grove Medical Centre, Sherborne Abbey and finally to Jules Bradburn’s family, who have all played a significant part of our community links in the past 12 months and to whom we are all very grateful.
Later on this month we will be out and about again doing the same again – So keep and eye out for a rather large Santa and let us know if you spot him!
Musical Visitors
We were thrilled to recently welcome some of the fantastic students from Sherborne Girls School to our home recently…
It was very easy for our lovely next-door neighbours to pop across to us for the afternoon, musical instruments in tow, and entertained some of our residents for a mini concert in our ground floor lounge, playing piano, cello and saxophone and also showcasing some of their beautiful singing voices too.
Thank you so much for this truly wonderful afternoon and for taking the time to chat to our residents afterwards.
You are always welcome here in our home and cannot thank you all enough for all of your lovely visits throughout the last term.
Everyone here at Trinity Manor would like to take this opportunity to wish all the staff & students of Sherborne Girls School a VERY merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Beautiful Homemade Christmas Cards
Our most sincere thanks to our lovely friends from Leweston School...
Teacher & House Mistress, Lara, popped along to the home recently to deliver some extra special Christmas cards, all of them handmade by some of the students who board at the school.
Some contained wonderful messages explaining who they were and what their hobbies were, others, little drawings or words of festive cheer. Some even had sweeties stuck to them as a little extra gift.
Many were from their international students, from further afield.
One thing is certain though, our residents were not only surprised by their appearance, but felt truly grateful that they had been thought of by these fabulous, thoughtful individuals.
THANK YOU, LEWESTON AND WE HOPE YOU HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
