Four members of the Stonehaven Support team based in Buckfastleigh will be running the ’80’s Retro Run’ on Sunday 19th March. This is a 10km run around Exeter City Centre, along the canal paths, with the finish line at Exeter Quay. Through sponsorship, we will be raising money for Age UK Exeter. Come along and support us! The race starts at 9am, so we are hoping to be at the finish line just after 10am. Or sponsor us at: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/NathanStone2

 

Dove Tree resident Joy Lovell was recently interviewed at the home, by BBC Spotlight about her memories of the bombing of Exeter during the First World War. The feature aired last night. Well done Joy! For anybody who missed the programme and would be interested to hear what Joy had to say, you can catch up on BBC IPlayer (‘Spotlight’ 3/1/17)

I have just been looking through some of the Christmas photographs from The Manor, our home in Exminster, and thought how lovely, cosy and festive this scene was. Thought I would share……

Stonehaven were delighted to have been nominated in two categories at this years Western Morning New Business Awards – Business of the Year and Family Business of the Year. The awards ceremony was held last Thursday at The Holiday Inn, Plymouth. Sadly, we were not winners in either category this year, but were so thrilled to be recognised as one of the most successful businesses in the Southwest region, and indeed, the only care provider to be nominated. We were also there to present the award for the Best Community Contribution, won by The Daisy Garland of Totnes, a charity offering help and support to those whose lives are touched by drug resistant epilepsy. Congratulations to all the worthy winners!

The staff and residents at Dove Tree House in Exeter got into the Halloween spirit on Monday night, by dressing up, playing spooky charades and enjoying a terrifying tea prepared by Frankenstein (aka Keith the Chef)! The afternoon was spent carving pumpkins and decorating cakes ready for the evening’s celebrations.
