April Activities

April was a bustling month for outdoor activities, delighting residents with various attractions. They enjoyed a visit to Thames Valley Adventure Playground, where they enjoyed a captivating concert.

Another highlight was a visit to the newly opened air raid shelter café and tea rooms in High Wycombe. Here, residents had the opportunity to peruse memorabilia while indulging in tea and cake.

The aroma of freshly baked cakes and bread filled the home, reflecting a growing trend of baking among residents.

Amidst the month's festivities, the home celebrated the wedding of one of our carers, Em, with an afternoon tea. Congratulations were extended to Em & Bella. Jim one of residents had a visit from his great-grandson whilst enjoying the celebrations. We learnt it was his birthday so we all joined in to celebrate his birthday with songs and cheers.

A trip down memory lane took some residents to RAF Hendon, where they immersed themselves in the museum's offerings. For one resident, the visit stirred nostalgic memories, as he had painted the building in his youth.

Zoe, a student from BCA, demonstrated her artistic talents by decorating an old medication trolley, which will soon serve as a mobile shop for residents.

St. George's Day was commemorated with a play written by our very own Anne Park, narrated while staff dressed up and performed for everyone's enjoyment. The day concluded with a quintessentially English treat: scones with jam and cream.

We also celebrated Kelly, one of its Senior Night Carers, for her remarkable 25 years of service at Swarthmore.
