OSJCT Moments
With so many precious moments happening in and around our homes each day, what better way to document it than in a weekly, bite-size story that can be shared with and enjoyed by everyone. Here are some of the inspired moments of joy our residents, teams and communities have been appreciating recently.
Ashwood’s Royal Ascot Ladies Day
As it wasn’t possible to go to Royal Ascot for Ladies Day, the team at the Care Centre invited residents to Ashwood Ladies’ Derby Day instead. Everyone came adorned in their best hats, the ladies looked elegant and the men very suave. They sat in their own private boxes reserved for each individual household and were served with homemade fairy cakes washed down with Pimms and lemonade while they searched through their betting slips. Congratulations to all the winners!
Sentimental flowers
Violet recently had a lovely visit from her good friend Christine at Whitefriars. She brought her yellow roses which are very special to Violet. Yellow roses are sentimental to Violet, as they bring back fond memories of her son. Her friend remembered this and bought her a pretty bouquet, along with new slippers and her favourite strawberries.
Residents at Paternoster House visit Royal palaces
Paternoster House were delighted to have a virtual tour and history talk of Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. Residents found it fascinating to be able to view the inside of the Royal palaces and to learn so much from their guide, Amy from The Royal Windsor Collection.

Reminiscence afternoon with Thelma at Whitefrairs
Sue, an Activities Co-ordinator at Whitefrairs in Stamford recently organised a reminiscence afternoon for resident Thelma around some lovely black and white photos of Thelma and her family of family holidays and trips. Thelma enjoyed sharing her memories with Sue and the other residents.
Gwen’s 103rd birthday celebrations at Hartsholme House!
Gwen recently turned 103. She celebrated her birthday with a family visit by family members sitting in the home’s garden. By the end of the day her room looked like a florist, thanks to all the amazing flowers she received!
Happy birthday Gwen from the Trust and all at Hartsholme House, we hope you had a wonderful day!
