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.

New Year Celebrations
Recently here at Trinity Manor it was party central…
Kicking off our New Year’s Eve celebrations, Memory Lane hosted a funky hat disco featuring Marjorie the Viking, Pauline the Cowgirl, David the Captain and Tommy Cooper tribute Elizabeth!
In the afternoon, we welcomed the ever spectacular Jan McNeil to headline our New Year’s Eve Countdown party. Including crowd favourites ‘Happy New Year’ by Abba and the classic ‘Hokey Pokey’, it was her rendition of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ to close out the show which reduced some of us to tears and will live long in the memory.
Thank you Jan and Happy New Year!
Trinity Manor Turns 3!
This past week we celebrated the 3rd anniversary of Trinity Manor...
Residents and staff gathered together in our ground floor lounge as we celebrated three amazing years of being open!
We were also celebrating with our Resident Ambassador, Dr Valerie, who was also marking 3 years to the day since she became the home's first resident; therefore it seemed only fitting that she said and few words, before we toasted to many more years to come!
The staff then thanked all the amazing residents, who make this house a home and who make it an amazing place to come to work - You are all wonderfull!!!
Smells Like Christmas...
Recently here at Trinity Manor residents spent an afternoon making some very Christmassy smelling pomanders...
So simple to do, just by sticking cloves into an orange, then tied with a lovely red ribbon, the residents are absolutely loving the very Christmassy scent.
These can also make great homemade gifts, which can be hung around the home or put inside an airing cupboard for a wonderfully festive scent in and around your laundry.
Why not have a go?
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!
