Hi, my name is Carly and I am the home's Activities Coordinator.

I am passionate about enhancing our resident's daily lives and delivering a person-centred life enrichment activity programme is very important to me to ensure that our residents continue to lead fulfilling lives doing things that they want to and enjoy. Our programme is varied from excursions out on the minibus ensuring our residents are connected to their local community, hosting events here in the home, virtual events and themed days – no day is the same!

My job is to physically and mentally stimulate our residents by offering a range of activities for them to enjoy. I want to get everyone involved and make our home community and atmosphere as positive and welcoming as possible.

Making sure that our residents have things to do that they really enjoy doing is something that I hold very close to my heart. It is so important to make sure that they are happy and enjoy all of the activities and events that we host for them.

A lot of our residents also enjoy our special trips out on our Minibus as we create new, special memories together.
