Pub club at the Dog and Duck in Shirley

18/08/2026

Pop-up pub - Catherine and Chaplain David brought the pub club to Hampton Lodge due to the weather not allowing our residents to do their normal weekly pub club.

The Dog And Duck very kindly helped us to make the pub experience as authentic as possible and lent us some bits to make the pub feel as realistic as possible.

We are very thankfully for the support of the Southampton community and look forward to visiting The Dog And Duck again this Friday now the weather has cooled down a touch.

"It was a great day I enjoyed having a drink with the residents from my pub club and it was an extra bonus to get some more residents that wouldn't be able to make the trip up the road to the pub. Catherine and I love going to the pub with our residents and thank Callum from the pub going letting us use their kit to make it an extra enjoyable day." - David Featch, Hampton Lodge Chaplain

It's with great sadness that I report the news that on the morning of the 28th of July Harvey passed away. Loved by everyone at Hampton Lodge this is a big loss for us all and of course no more so than for David.

We give thanks for the times Harvey came in and put a smile on the faces of so many people, from staff, visitors and residents he loved them all.

Our thoughts go out to Chaplain David and his family at this time.

Massive thank you to Sky for their amazing work transforming our garden areas today. The difference is amazing and we cannot thank Simon and his team enough. We would also like to extend our thanks to MHA's Senior Philanthropy Manager Mel Tiley for organising the project.

As well as all the gardening and painting the team were lovely with one of our residents who came out to help. Overall the day was a massive success and we look forward to having more volunteers back in the future.

We are all very thankfully for the excellent sessions provided by Gemma and her team and thank you Emily from MHA Communities Southampton for setting this up.

We would like to share with you some photos of a project we are doing in collaboration with MHA Hampton Lodge and The National Lottery. We are providing specialist seated exercise classes for residents, their families and staff/volunteers to participate in. The classes are aimed at helping to build core strength and stability.
