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.

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.

Baking With Friends
What a fun morning recently, as some of our wonderful residents up on our Memory Lane community joined in with a spot of baking...
The egg cracking and cake mixing commenced in style, as everyone took a turn to do their bit.
The residents chose to colour their cakes very brightly as they opted for pink and green.
The ladies afterwards enjoyed a well earned cuppa and a chat as they waited for the cakes to come out of the oven.
Post bake when coming to the ground floor to cut the cake for this afternoon's tea trolley, an eagled eyed member of staff had a giggle as Activities Assistant, Joe, and the lovely Eileen, both camouflaged against the cake! Spot the difference!
These cakes brings a whole new meaning to the phrase , 'Eat yer greens!'
Exercise AND Cake?!
It's not every establishment that would let you getaway with eating cake or a quick forty winks whilst in the middle of an exercise class, but here at Trinity Manor, anything goes!
With Activities Assistant, Joe, at the helm leading a lovely group of ladies through some deep breathing exercises and Yoga, residents soon became so relaxed, some did indeed nod off!
Interrupted only by the tea trolley, with some delicious home baked chocolate chip cake, our wonderful group felt very relaxed in the aftermath of the class.
Definitely our kind of exercise...
Great Job ladies!
Wear Red Day
Valentine's has started early this year at Trinity Manor, as staff wore red for the day recently, as they showed some love for The Children's Heart Surgery Fund.
Wear Red Day aims to raise awareness and funds for 'local heart warriors and their families', as they struggle to deal with a wide variety of congenital heart issues.
The money raised goes towards something small, such as a teddy to comfort a small child after heart surgery or even towards essential pieces of equipment, such as ECHO machines.
Members of our team have themselves had to deal with heart conditions, as well as some of their children, so this is a cause that is definitely close to their hearts!
If you wish to help and show some love for this amazing cause, please DONATE BY TEXT: -

Ukulele Day!
On a day with all the 2's (2/2/22), we are stole the fact that it's actually National Ukulele Day in the USA and celebrated it in style here at Trinity Manor instead...
Fun facts about the Ukulele: -
It's origins are Portuguese, but the Hawaiians adopted it in the 19th century
It has only 4 strings
The strings are made from nylon
Ukulele translates from Hawaiian as 'jumping flea'
Hawaiian Kings requested it to be played at their royal banquets
So in honour of this prestigious day, we were joined by the lovely Cyril & friends for a fantastic afternoon of singing and ukulele playing. Not only did they play, encouraging everyone to sing along with them, but they brought with them a wonderful assortment of props, wigs and hats to link in with each song, much to the hilarity of our residents! A kazoo playing Elvis even made an appearance in the building!
THANK YOU Cyril & the gang for a fabulous afternoon of fun! The residents thought you were all wonderful and haven't stop talking about you all since.
Ambling at the Abbey...
After our trip to see the amazing work at the Community Kitchen and handover funds raised by ourselves at our Christmas raffle recently, we took our two lovely ladies for a little 'amble' around (what in our opinion, is one of the country's most stunning places of worship) the local Abbey...
It's pretty stunning and we are so lucky to have it as our local church.
Here's a little snap of everyone standing in it's shadow!
Community Kitchen Fundraising!
We recently took a couple of our lovely residents down to The Sherborne Community Kitchen to formally hand over the funds raised by ourselves before Christmas, at the raffle we had at our pop up Fayre.
What a wonderful hive of excitement as we caught them before their food service to handover our giant cheque, raising £123.
Please take a look at their website and see what amazing work they do here in the heart of our community: -

A BIG thank you to Harry and the whole team down there for doing such a stellar job, ensuring affordable, hot, healthy meals are available to those who need them or just want a place to come and feel part of the community!
We would also like the thank all the incredible stallholders who donated raffle prizes for this worthwhile cause too!
