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
Van Gogh, Who?
Vincent may be good, but he isn't anything compared to our amazing artist in residence!
Take a look at the gorgeous picture painted this afternoon up on Memory Lane, by the fantastic Gillian, during an art therapy session...
Well done Gillian!
Introducing Walter!
We are very delighted to announce that we will be welcoming the very gorgeous, Walter the poodle and his human friend, Stacey, who will be regular visitors to our home in the near future!
Eight-year-old Walter, was rehomed with Stacey back in February and has worked very hard since, to get his award as a certified PAT (Pets as Therapy) dog.
Walter LOVES cuddles, playing with his football and is very gentle and the perfect tonic to make our residents feel all the better for having seen him!
He came along recently to Trinity Manor and met with Home Services Advisor, Rebekah, who welcomed him and gave both him and Stacey their inaugural tour of our home, so that he could get used to the sounds and smells and also the lift (which he wasn't so sure about, but after lots of love from Stacey, was very happy with).
Welcome to the Trinity Manor team, Walter & Stacey, we look forward to seeing you in December!
We Will Remember Them
On Remembrance day residents were pleased to be represented by our Activities Co-ordinator, Laura, as she lay a poppy wreath on behalf of the home at the cenotaph outside the Abbey.
Afterwards, residents were absolutely delighted to welcome some of the members of 874 - Sherborne Air Cadet Squadron , who came to chat with some of our residents and share stories and experiences.
Thank you for joining us for the afternoon, it was hugely appreciated by us all.

'They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.'
~ Laurence Binyon
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: -
