V&A Dundee exhibition tour with V&A

We had a lovely time joining Becca Clark and James Wylie – members of V&A Dundee’s exhibitions team – as they took us on a virtual tour of the museum’s incredible Scottish Design Galleries.

We were introduced to the wide range of unique objects at the galleries from architecture and engineering, jewellery and textiles to theatre and their fascinating stories.

And we were able to learn more about the importance of all objects in telling the rich and varied history of Scottish design.

It was a lovely talk, enjoyed by all.

Camera Club

Residents enjoyed a trip to Ashington Camera Club to see their new exhibition as part of the homes celebrations for World Photo Day. Residents enjoyed browsing the displays looking at the photos and were given the chance to take part in their very own photo shoot before leaving with prints to display at home. It was a great day!

Meet our new friends!

Residents have been very busy showing their creative sides during a recent arts and craft session, with their ideas planned they soon got to work in creating some amazing scarecrows which are firmly displayed outside of the home for all to see. Residents used a different range of materials and items to make the homes garden boat look colourful and amazing!

Beluga Whale Sanctuary virtual tour

We took a wonderful virtual trip to Iceland and visited the SEA LIFE Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary to have an inside look into the daily care of their two resident beluga whales: Little White and Little Grey.

Our residents were introduced to the history of the Beluga Whale Sanctuary and learnt more about its mission to provide a more natural home for belugas in human care with a first-hand look at how the dedicated team are not only caring for the whales, but preparing for their future in the sea sanctuary!

It was an enjoyable event for everyone, learning more about the amazing beluga whales and how they are cared for at the sanctuary
