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.
Bibesh Shrestha
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
Armistice...
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Lest We Forget...
With great THANKS to members of the Wildcat Maritime Force from RNAS Yeovilton, who recently joined our residents for Armistice Day and the two minutes' silence, then afterwards chatting with some of our residents and sharing stories & experiences.
Alongside these currently serving Naval personnel, some of our residents also proudly wore some of their own medals for the occasion - everyone looking immaculately turned out and very smart indeed.
What an absolute privilege & honour to be amongst such esteemed people.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
Dancing Back in Time
Halloween may be a dim and distant memory now, but here at Trinity Manor we are still remembering all the fun we had along with friend of the home, Debbie Knight, who really knows how to get a party started...
Donning our very best daft hats, (because that's how we roll...) Debbie had us all up and moving as we celebrated the season through music and movement!
Debbie really had everyone laughing a lot and loving every moment as we moved and did our best scary faces to Michael Jackson's Thriller, did ALL the actions to The Village People's YMCA and even channelled our best spanish divas doing a bit of flamenco, just because we could!
Thank you, Debbie for a brilliant session - What a way to spend a morning.
Pop-up Embroidery Exhibit
We are VERY excited to say that we are currently playing host to the most wonderfully creative pop-up exhibit, courtesy of our lovely friends & neighbours over at Sherborne Girls School...
Last year celebrated 70 years of The Friends of the Yeatman Hospital and the fabulous girls next door decided to mark this special milestone with 70 embroidery hoops filled with colour and design that specifically links to the work the 'Friends' have done for the hospital.
Please come and see the exhibit, which we are currently playing host to in our summer lounge - Everyone is welcome!
For more information on this extraordinary display and all it represents, please read the article on the link below: -

Thank you, girls for your hard work and creative designs, our residents are really enjoying having it here.
Life is a Cabaret, Old Chum!
One of our favourite entertainers here in the home, is the fabulously, glamourous Jan McNeill - Entertainer and Speaker!
Not only is she insanely talented as a singer, but in fact she has led the most interesting life, as she sang onboard cruise ships and eventually became Cruise Director, mixing and mingling with some REALLY famous folk!
So, we decided to bring Jan back to see us, but this time, not in a singing capacity, but for her to regale us with some of her tales and stories from her 35+ year career...
Jan told us her story as to how she had ended up in singing aboard some of the world's most stunning ships and name dropped left, right & centre, from Sir Cliff Richard, Olivia Newton-John, Una Stubbs, Lionel Blair to name but a few, but it wouldn't be a cruise ship talk without mention of the especially lovely Jane McDonald!
Jan also explained how she was central to Sir Cliff's big birthday bash, when he chartered the entire ship to celebrate with some of his most famous friends!
What a truly enviable, wonderful career you have had, Jan!
Thank you so very much for sharing it all with us.
P.S. We quite like the feathered headdresses - In particular, we think Joe looks particularly cabaret ready in his!
Poppy Appeal
Don't forget to support this year's Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal!
We like to do our bit here in the home and residents like to lay a wreath each year on Remembrance Day, at the cenotaph by the Abbey (see our lovely friends from the local branch of the Royal British legion handing over this year's wreath at the poppy launch recently).
We also have a box of poppies as well as badges, lanyards and lots more Poppy Appeal items available on our reception desk.
Please give generously to this VERY worthwhile cause...
It's so important to encourage every generation to thank the last and to also learn about the work that the Royal British Legion do.
Donate whatever you can afford - Take a leaf out of baby Rosie's book and get your poppy today!
Wear your poppy with pride!
