Good afternoon everyone...

This is some of our photos from this morning when the lovely Laura from Rise Essex came to do a taster session. The residents so enjoyed the interaction and we would love to have them back. Thanks again! More photos of our Activities will follow 😀

We were so kindly invited to watch The Colne Community Schools production of Matilda today, and what a fantastic morning it was!🎭

Residents from Stronvar Rest Home were picked up and dropped off by the school’s minibus, which was such a thoughtful touch!

The students were absolutely incredible – so much talent, energy and confidence on stage. We are so grateful to have been included. Being part of our wider community is incredibly important to us, and opportunities like this really do mean a lot.🌟

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to take many photos due to school safeguarding guidelines, but it was a truly wonderful morning✨️

❤️ Valentine’s Crafting at Stronvar Rest Home ❤️

Today our residents got creative making beautiful Valentine’s decorations! 💕

Using cut-out hearts (with two little holes!) and threading them onto string, they carefully created their own lovely garlands – and didn’t they do a fantastic job! 👏✨

It was a wonderful activity for keeping hands busy and minds focused, with lots of smiles along the way.

And… peep the happy manager giving his seal of approval! 👍😊

Well done everyone – spreading the love one heart at a time! 💜❤️

🕯️ Creative Candle Crafts Today 🕯️

Today we enjoyed a lovely, calm crafting session here in the home, getting ready for a very special visit tomorrow. This month’s candle theme has been chosen by our local church ahead of their home communion visit tomorrow, and we’ve been busy creating decorations to reflect it.

Residents made beautiful candle decorations by sticking coloured cellophane onto card cut-outs. The finished pieces look just like glowing stained-glass candles and have brightened up our windows wonderfully. ✨

One of our residents also chose to colour in some candle pictures, adding their own creative touch and enjoying a peaceful bit of colouring time. 🎨

It’s been a gentle, meaningful afternoon filled with colour, conversation, and smiles — all while keeping activities safe, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone. ⭐️

This week at Stronvar Rest Home has been full of creativity, movement and colour! 🎨✨

On Monday, our residents decorated beautiful wind chimes🎐, creating some lovely sounds and personalised designs. These will be moved to the garden when the weather warms up🌞
Yesterday, we started the morning with a fun word game 🧠🗣️, where we picked a theme and thought of words we associate with it—lots of great ideas and laughs! We then moved on to a relaxing chair yoga session 🧘‍♀️ to stretch, move and unwind.
Today, we made bright tissue paper flowers 🌼🌺 to cut out and decorate the home, adding a splash of colour.

It’s been wonderful to see everyone getting involved, chatting, laughing and showing off their artistic flair 💛😊 We love creating meaningful activities that bring joy, creativity and a little sparkle to each day ✨
