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 Café - COMING SOON!
Here in the home recently, we were joined by some key members of the local community to plan the launch of a dementia friendly community café .
Ideas were buzzing and much tea & coffee was drunk, as well as yummy cakes eaten as everyone shared suggestions and plans to make it a wonderful place to come for those who would benefit the most, capturing the loneliness within our community, as well as a great support system for anyone who needs it here in Sherborne!
A BIG thank you to all who came to help in sharing suggestions, for what hopes to be an amazing venture that the town will truly benefit from.
Watch this space for the future launch date!
Relaxation Station
What truly wonderful afternoon was had by many here at Trinity Manor recently, when the amazing Anna-Maria of Galvinology visited.
As a trained reflexologist, Anna-Maria gave our residents a very relaxing treat by delivering some very therapeutic hand massages direct from our salon.
With some gorgeous smelling mists from a special humidifier that constantly changed colour and a touch of spa music, it really was the perfect sensory session that everyone who tried, LOVED!
For some of our Memory Lane residents especially, this was the perfect tonic and a calming way to end their day.
Thank you Anna-Maria, we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Familiar Faces!
We recently welcomed back some familiar faces into our home for a spot of tea and cake!
Cyril and his lovely daughter, Inva, as well as Alan and his bee-keeping friend, Jill (pictured), all joined us for an afternoon of chat and good company here at the home, and were especially delighted to be treated to some delicious cakes all made by our wonderful chef.
It was so nice for them to come and catch up with all the Trinity Manor news. Both Cyril & Alan have both previously stayed with us for some respite care and loved it so much, that were delighted to be invited back for a visit.
Thank you all for joining us and also allowing us to share these pictures on here. We hope to welcome you again soon!
Furry Friends
Residents are very much keen dog lovers, so when one of the carers, Di, stopped by with her beautiful little pooches, Bella & Boo, everyone was very keen to have a bit of time giving them some cuddles!
Di has suggested that they become the home’s dogs and plans to bring them in for regular visits with our residents.
Thank you Di, your visits with Bella & Boo have certainly made the world of difference to many and brought many smiles to our home!
Night Fever
Staff and residents were treated to a talk about nightclub culture by V&A Dundee Curator, Kirsty Hassard. The presentation forms part of a series of six talks and virtual tours that V&A Dundee is hosting for Barchester Healthcare’s care homes and private hospitals across the UK.
Kirsty’s talk looked at the history and design of night clubs, and examined club culture from the 1960s to the present day. She explored their evolution and development around the world, from Italy to America, and closer to home, looking at their importance as cultural venues and designed spaces.
Residents really enjoyed taking a look around the exhibition and to have their very own guided tour was fantastic. They were particularly intrigued by the concept of a ‘silent disco’, which once it had been explained to them a little further, they could not stop giggling about!
Inaugural Networking Breakfast
For the very first time, local community workers, professionals and small business owners came together at Trinity Manor to enjoy the home’s very first Networking Breakfast event.
It was an opportunity for some of the community to come together in a covid safe way, enjoying the early morning sunshine out on the home’s patio, whilst having a spot of breakfast and a coffee before work.
Amongst those who came along were: Social Prescribers, Dementia Co-ordinators, Community Kitchen Workers, a Reflexologist, a Fire Fighter and from Trinity Manor and hosting the event, were General Manager, Sohail Daniel and Home Services Advisor Rebekah Goddard.
After introductions, everyone chatted about upcoming local events, as well as future events at Trinity Manor that require community involvement and how everyone could help out in differing ways, as well as helping each other with their own promotion locally.
