Weekly activity resources for care home residents
What We Do
We are a caring team, dedicated to providing meaningful activity resources for the older generation living with supported care.
We passionately believe that anyone who has lived a long life has a wealth of experiences to share.
We produce weekly resources that stimulate older minds, provoke their valuable opinions and viewpoints about what is happening in the world.

Residents Living with Dementia
Our discussion resources are recognised by experts as part of a cognitive stimulation therapy programme.
We plan each week’s news pack carefully to include open-ended questions so that residents can engage in a conversation that’s personal to them.
The resource guides are designed to help staff lead group or one-to-one chats in a supportive way.
