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
Croquet Competition
We recently held an afternoon of Croquet and Pimm’s on our lawn with a group of residents and some of their visitors.
Croquet, the popular outdoor game, played on a lawn or court, with long-handled mallets with which the players hit balls through a series of wickets, or hoops.
We look forward to continuing our games in our garden this summer whilst the weather remains beautiful.
Trinity Manor x Haynes Motor Museum
One of our most recent trips out featured a short drive to the renowned Haynes Motor Museum.
It was John Haynes’ love of motoring and business which formed the essence of the hugely successful Haynes Publishing Group. A collector of cars and most things related to them, John’s ambition to create his own Museum was perhaps inevitable.
The Museum was opened on the 10th of July 1985 by the then Land Speed Record holder Richard Noble OBE. Since then the collection’s international theme expanded as vehicles from around the globe were acquired increasing numbers from a humble 29 to nearly 400 in 30 years; an amazing feat by anyone’s standards.
As you can see we had some very happy residents after this trip!
The Classic Cars return!
The eagerly anticipated second instalment of our popular Classic Car Show didn’t disappoint.
Residents, their families and staff were treated to a fantastically looked after collection of vehicles from Dorchester Classic Vehicle Club, Support from Sherborne Police as well as entertainment from Will Rawlings and Refreshments from Clipper Teas.
We look forward to welcoming you back next year!
Celebrating our Carers
Whether they are night Carers, day Carers, Senior Carers, Community leads or bank Carers, one thing we are certain of is that...Trinity Manor has some of the very best carers out there!
Carers truly are an amazing bunch and it takes a very special kind of person to dedicate their life to help others as they do, and for that we are immensely grateful and proud.
Today with the help of Liam our Chef, the team were treated to a continental breakfast as a thank you from Sohail, Paul and all of the residents.
Sit & Strengthen
Communifit and Trinity Manor have been working closely together for a long time now and we still enjoy the sessions as well as continuing to benefit from them. We even took advantage of the great British weather recently and took our work out alfresco!
The Sit and Strengthen programme was created in memory of founder Crag’s grandma. He witnessed first-hand her deterioration from the ageing process. Sitting most days, with no structured exercise keeping her body going. This gave him the idea to help others in similar situations.
Commemorating D Day
Residents and Staff alike joined to commemorate the events of D Day with themed refreshments and period music from the talented Jan McNeill - Entertainer and Speaker.
On the morning of 6 June 1944, more than 7000 ships and landing craft landed Allied forces on five beaches along the Normandy coastline in the face of overwhelming fire from the Atlantic Wall. In the skies above Normandy, Allied airpower defended the invasion force, attacked German fortifications, and delivered airborne troops to strategic objectives.
In order for the invasion to be successful, immense levels of bravery and sacrifice were required. Dubbed The Longest Day, thousands of Allied and German troops would die on D-Day and thousands more would follow during the Battle of Normandy. The Liberation of Western Europe had begun.
