We would like to say a big THANK YOU to the members of Warmley Men in Sheds who have created a fantastic large raised bed for us in the grounds of our Chipping Sodbury House. The residents are thrilled with it and are so looking forward to filling it with lots of colourful flowers.

For room of the week this week, we share a glimpse of rooms 1 and 2 at our lovely retirement home in Cheltenham, Heathercroft, which are available for viewings.

We are excited to announce that Abbeyfield Gloucestershire has expanded to include the Abbeyfield Chipping Sodbury house, enabling us to provide Abbeyfield's unique family atmosphere to even more people and ensure further development of our charitable purpose - to reduce isolation and loneliness.

Last week we ran an acrostic poem competition for our residents. The winning entry was created by Jane from our Chipping Sodbury house with her lovely “kindness” poem.

Mary recently joined our Prestbury House. Find out more about her daughter’s experience and why they choose an Abbeyfield house.
