Our gardening group had a lovely afternoon on Tuesday planting our very own sunflower saplings. They are individually named so we can see who's can grow the biggest flower. We're super excited to nurture them and watch them grow - stay tuned for more photos!

Yesterday, we started to begin the process of making some bowls with papier-mâché - this is just the first stage!! Stay tuned for more photos next week when we paint them!

Arts and crafts on our Lowther community last week in which residents chose to make and decorate flowers - which one is your favourite? We think they all look fabulous!

Residents and staff enjoyed Aprils Grab Your Passport! Day which took us on a trip to 'France'!

A wonderful day was had by all and we're excited to see what next months trip holds! Stay tuned..

We had a delivery recently from Harry at Sugar Rush Sweeties, Garforth who we are proud to be working with to keep our sweet trolley stocked with lots of gorgeous sweets. We asked our residents for suggestions and for their favourite sweets so that we could cater for all. We had lots of suggestions including coconut mushrooms and peppermint creams which were very popular across the home. Harry was able to cater to all our requests!! The Gentleman on Rydal community enjoyed watching the well-being team restock the sweet trolley and they even got to taste test some of the new sweets! We look forward to our next delivery - thank you Harry for providing a great service 😀

We are delighted that more than 90% of our residents and staff have received their first vaccination, with 94% of residents now having received both vaccinations! Thank you to everyone who has been involved in organising today.
