We are lucky enough to have a brilliant activities team who are passionate about engaging with our residents and putting on a diverse range of activities and events. Activities include music and movement, armchair aerobics, singing, word games such as scrabble, weekly quizzes, ludo, knitting, sewing, building puzzles, pet therapy, baking, bingo, card making, domino’s, arts and crafts, film afternoons, trips out for lunch, a monthly library service, a weekly Abbeyfield Shop that comes to you, communion, planting flowers and vegetables, taking residents out to the shops, musical entertainment, an annual summer garden party as well as a Christmas Panto. The Activities Schedule is updated every Friday and activities vary weekly to allow for the change in season, mood and resident-led interests.
We have several groups that visit us such as Bambino’s Boutique Daycare and Brookside Nursery School who visit fortnightly on alternate Monday mornings as well as a Stay & Play Intergenerational Toddler group every Friday morning run by Hyndburn and Ribble Valley Family Hub. We also have a weekly Coffee Morning every Tuesday that is open to the public. Clitheroe Library visits monthly to refresh their member’s books.
Abbeyfield House recently opened its doors to the local community, offering a welcoming space for various voluntary groups to use the newly refurbished activities lounge. By doing so, these local groups can continue running their activities without the burden of overhead costs for renting a space. This partnership not only strengthens ties between the us and the community but also brings vibrant, meaningful engagement to both residents and visitors. We are proud to support these groups, creating a shared space that benefits everyone involved, while fostering a sense of belonging and connection.
