Residents at
HC-One’s Brize Meadow Lodge Care Home in Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, recently embraced their creative side during a special arts-and-crafts session, building and decorating charming miniature bird houses alongside dedicated colleagues.
The activity brought plenty of laughter and teamwork as residents carefully painted and assembled the bird houses, each adding their own unique personal touches. What began as a simple DIY project quickly became a meaningful experience, sparking conversation, memories, and a great sense of achievement among everyone involved.
The completed bird houses, now proudly displayed in the home’s garden, have transformed the outdoor space into a welcoming haven for local wildlife. Visitors are encouraged to keep an eye out for these delightful creations during their next visit – each one is not only a decorative feature, but also a symbol of the creativity and community spirit that thrives within Brize Meadow Lodge.
