Residents at
HC-One’s Ash Tree House Care Home in Hindley, Wigan, have been enjoying their much-loved Knit and Natter sessions, where they gather together to knit, chat, and enjoy a comforting brew.
The group has become a highlight on the home’s wellbeing calendar, offering residents a relaxing and social way to spend time with friends. The ladies especially enjoy sharing stories, exchanging knitting tips, and admiring each other’s creations, all while surrounded by laughter and friendly conversation.
These sessions not only encourage creativity but also provide residents with a sense of purpose and belonging. The gentle, mindful activity of knitting helps maintain dexterity and focus, while the social side of the group supports emotional wellbeing and connection.
