Clubs
When the Lifestyle Programme kicked off at the beginning of 2011 Kingdom Homes, recognising that the types of activities currently being organised for residents didn't cater for all tastes, set about asking residents what hobbies and pastimes they used to enjoy when they were younger or before they came to live in a Kingdom Homes care home.
One of the first Clubs to be up and running - The Car Club.
It became clear that, with support, many of these hobbies could continue and the Residents Clubs evolved. Some of the clubs meet in one location with resident members travelling by the company's minibus to the venue. This has the added advantage of allowing new friendships to develop with people from other care homes in our Group.
Others, where numbers are larger, are taking place within each care homes. Below are just some of the Clubs that have been set up so far.
