What happens when a passion for dance becomes part of your day job?

For Bob, a Care Assistant at Anchor - St Edith's Court, it means bringing music, movement and plenty of encouragement to regular Zest sessions with residents.

Bob has been delivering Zest at the care home since completing his training, and says it’s his favourite part of the job.

“It’s my favourite part of the job. We all feel good after it.”

It’s lovely to see Bob using something he’s passionate about to help residents stay active, have fun and enjoy time together. 💜 Zest Wellbeing

🌱 A special place is starting to take shape…

Our residents asked for a quiet space where they could remember loved ones who have passed. We’re so glad to share that work has begun on our memorial garden.

It is still a work in progress, but already it feels peaceful — a place to sit, reflect, and hold those we miss close in our thoughts.

To everyone we have lost: you are not forgotten.

More updates to come as the garden grows. 💚

🌸 Our garden is getting summer-ready! ☀️

We’ve been busy sprucing up the outdoor space so residents and their families can enjoy more time together in the fresh air — chats over a cuppa, sunny lunches, and those lovely moments outdoors.

Come and see the transformation!
