We had a fantastic time attending today’s Youth Recruitment Event! 🌟
It was a pleasure meeting so many enthusiastic young people interested in exploring a career in care. We enjoyed sharing what it’s like to work in our home, the opportunities available, and how rewarding it is to make a real difference in people’s lives every day.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand, asked questions, and shared their aspirations with us. We hope we inspired some future care professionals, and we look forward to welcoming new faces to our team in the future!

Nina the Barn Owl @ Chollacott House
/in NewsWe have had a lovely visit from Nina the Barn Owl, Graham and his son Jamie. Graham gave a talk on the owl population we have in England which was very interesting. We then got to meet Nina and give her a lovely smooth down. This was very tactile and everyone enjoyed getting up close and personal with Nina. Nina was on her very best behaviour and enjoyed the attention she was given by everyone.
Pizza Making @ Dove Tree House
/in NewsThere’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh pizza filling the home!
Today our wonderful residents rolled up their sleeves and made their own pizzas completely from scratch. From kneading the dough and spreading the sauce to choosing their favourite toppings, everyone had a fantastic time getting creative in the kitchen.
It was filled with laughter, teamwork, and plenty of delicious aromas—and, of course, the best part was enjoying the finished pizzas together!
A wonderful day of baking, socialising, and making happy memories.

Family Time, Mocktails & Sunshine @Woodhayes
/in NewsSue and her son spent a lovely bit of time out in the garden this week, soaking up the sunshine and catching up properly. The benches were warm, the flowers were starting to show off, and the whole place just felt brighter. They sat together for ages, chatting, laughing, and enjoying the kind of simple moment that makes spring feel so good.
A cycle around the Meadows @Chollacott

Repotting @ Primrose House
/in NewsWhat an amazing few weeks we’ve had with the weather! We’ve been out in the garden enjoying the sunshine. We braved the fresh wind this afternoon to re-pot the sunflower seedlings into bigger pots. We only managed to re-pot 5 of them, only another 25 to go.
