Residents at Otterburn were treated to an interactive drumming session with Fitnniss - Wellbeing in Care who specialise in boosting wellbeing in care through meaningful activity

These experiences aren't just designed for fun, they're incredibly powerful for stimulating the brain, encouraging social connection, and inspiring self expression.

Whether tapping the drum, swaying to the beat or singing along - we're championing creativity and physical activity in a fun environment

Cooking up a storm at Greenside Court

Adam, Dave, and Joe took a trip to the shops to pick up ingredients for their own delicious home-cooked meals

Back at home, they got stuck into the cooking with support from the team - from prepping to plating up.

Dave’s steak was cooked to perfection, and Adam’s lasagna went down a treat!

Fresh food, furry friends, and feeling good

As part of Healthy Eating Week, we’re celebrating the fantastic work happening at Tees Grange, where the healthy eating group is making real strides - and having fun along the way

They’ve been getting hands-on with interactive food pyramids, tasting new ingredients, and learning how small changes can make a big difference

And it’s not just about what’s on the plate - they’re also getting active with regular walks, joined by everyone’s favourite four-legged motivator, Honey the therapy dog

Eddie, who’s part of the group, told us:
"The food is fabulous. The staff at Tees Grange have really helped me with my diet and exercise. I'm feeling healthier and I’m losing weight. I just feel better in myself!”
