Activities at The Wingfield Care Home
Here at The Wingfield our activities team provide a varied and interesting range of activities for all residents. We are registered with the National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) and we take pride in delivering activities that will enhance residents lives and bring happiness and a sense of purpose. Our cooking activities are very popular, as well as the regular book clubs, coffee mornings, skittle matches and bus trips. We provide one to one support for those who are unable to attend activities and we have tea dances, musicians, quizzes, music and movement, as well as our giant scrabble board! But most importantly we have fun! Relatives are always welcome and there is always much laughter and smiling faces during our activities. We take pride in what we do and we continually strive to enhance residents lives through meaningful activity.

Life at The Wingfield Care Home
The Magic Table
We are delighted to announce that we have just had a Magic Table installed, which is an interactive light projector, designed to support residents living with dementia by keeping them engaged through specialised games.
The light projections respond to hand and arm movement, promoting movement, allowing residents to stay stimulated and, most of all, have fun!
You can read more about it on this page.
Outdoor Activities
Every time when the weather is sunny we take our activities outdoors. Residents enjoy afternoon tea gatherings, flower arranging sessions and board games in the garden of the home.
Saint John’s School
Residents enjoy visiting the students of Saint John's Catholic primary school every Tuesday. Together they take part in gardening, crafting and reading activities.
The Prince's Trust Day
As part of their programme, members of The Prince’s Trust volunteered to join residents of The Wingfield for a day of activities.
Students and leaders were then invited to take part in a dementia session, led by The Wingfield’s Dementia Champion, Galya Guncheva, where they were able to grasp a real understanding of the disease and learn that, with the right support, it is possible to live well with the condition.
They were gifted a Dementia Friend badge in honour of their understanding and support, and were all keen to raise awareness thereafter.
Music is in the Fl'air
We were delighted to welcome the very talented Celia Waghorn and her flute groups, Tootey Flootey, Fl’air Flutes, Murmuration and Flaming Flutes, as they all performed to residents and visitors. The beautiful sound of flutes could be heard throughout the home and everyone enjoyed an interval of refreshments together.
Peotry with Sue Summons
Sue Simmons, a local community poet, came to Wingfield to give a wonderful reading of her poetry. Residents reminisced over the poems of childhood memories and laughed together during her comical finales. We look forward to welcoming Sue again soon.
