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
Trinity Manor Celebrates Diwali
Diwali, or Dipawali, is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness.
We were treated by an excellent performance of Bollywood Dancing, everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Traditional Bollywood dances were performed in front of Hindu deities and during the harvest season. The farmers would dance to thank their Gods for providing the right weather for their crops to grow. The mix of the worlds 'Hollywood' and 'Bombay' are what gave the dance style its name.
Lest we Forget
Our sincere thanks to Chief Petty Officer Stuart McAllister for representing Trinity Manor yesterday along with his wife, Activities Coordinator, Laura, who together laid a wreath of remembrance down at Sherborne Abbey yesterday.
'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.'
- For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon
Crafty Pumpkins
Activity Coordinator, Kath, has been busy crafting again on Memory Lane making some very colourful pumpkins.
They look so good we will use them to decorate our home during these autumnal moments and bring a smile and some cheer.
Practise Makes Perfect
This week we were invited to take part in the local secondary school's mock interview sessions.
Paul spent the morning helping students to tackle their next step in their careers, interviews. Interviews can be really daunting for anyone, let alone straight from secondary school. The morning was really encouraging for the students to try new skills that they have learnt and put it them into practise.
Well done all!
Pack Monday Fair
Trinity Manor was represented at Sherborne’s traditional annual fair that featured around 250 stalls, both artisan and local fabulous food stalls, traditional market stalls – that everyone loves, community stalls and a traditional fairground.
Senior General Manager Sohail, Deputy Manager Paul, Administration Manager Kate and Administrator Elizabeth all took it in turns to ensure that anyone who had any questions about the care that we offer, or generally wanting more information about care had an expert on hand to answer their questions.
Crafty Creations
Kath recently introduced a new form of craft to our budding team of residents… découpage.
One of the most satisfying crafts around, découpage involves cutting out pictures, gluing them to an object and then coating the pictures and the object with layers of varnish. The finished item can look so beautiful that it appears to be professionally painted.
The group were able to make some very intricately designed coasters to use throughout the home. Well done to all involved.
