Festive Fun at Connell Court Residents at Connell Court care home in Southport have been getting into the Christmas spirit by enjoying lots ‘festivities’ over the past few weeks. A lot of goings-on for our residents this December, including Alice in Wonderland Pantomime, annual mince pie baking competition, our big evening quiz, and a chance for residents to show off their creative flair with Wreath Making, and our regular crafting of sock snowmen. As part of our intergenerational initiative we were very pleased to an afternoon visit from St Johns primary school choir in Ainsdale. Our residents joined in with the wonderful singing with lots of clapping and smiles around. The highlight of Connell Court’s programme of festivities so far has been our Annual Christmas party. With music provided by guitarist/singer Eddie James, amazing food from Connell Courts catering team, with amazing effort put in from staff for their costumes making the atmosphere truly joyful. Our Christmas raffle which was drawn at the party, raised £191 for our resident amenity fund. Still to come we have our Christmas Bingo, our Christingle-service and festive seated sports with Caz from Rise, with residents reminiscing of Christmases celebrated in years gone by. Anna Harvey, manager at Connell Court, says: “We have had such a busy December, where everybody took part in our wonderful activities, thank you to the whole team for all of the efforts. It was such a delight for our residents, families and friends to get together for a wonderful party, here’s to many more. Evelyn Daniels Resident said ‘December has been absolutely lovely, the staff have made such a lovely effort’. Read More:
