Today, the Taylor & Taylor Care family — including everyone here at Esmere Gardens — is proudly supporting Breast Cancer Now by taking part in Wear It Pink on Friday 24th October 2025.

We’ll be dressing in pink, hosting themed activities and raising vital funds to help make life-changing research and care possible for those affected by breast cancer.

Puzzles, Games & Plenty of Fun!

Afternoons spent with jigsaws and games are always a favourite here at Shipston Lodge.

They’re not only a great source of entertainment, but also a wonderful way to exercise the mind, support wellbeing and enjoy time together in good company.

More great videos from our recent Movement & Fun with Yvette!

More Moments of Joy with Yvette!

Oour residents were full of smiles, song and energy! Yvette’s sessions always lift the atmosphere, encouraging everyone to join in and have fun together. What a wonderful afternoon!

Knit & Knatter at Shipston Lodge!

Our recent Knit & Knatter was as enjoyable as ever, with plenty of laughter, great conversation, and of course a cup of tea and some cake to keep everyone going.

A wonderful way to connect, create and share stories together.

Calm & Connection with Seated Yoga

This week’s seated yoga session was a truly calming experience.

Many residents joined in and enjoyed the chance to stretch, relax and focus on gentle movement together. A perfect way to support wellbeing and mindfulness.

A Treat at the Himalayan Coffee Shop & Gallery!

Residents had a wonderful outing back to the Himalayan Coffee Shop and Gallery, joined by our fantastic volunteer Wendy for a well-deserved treat.

The cakes were absolutely delicious, and the art and atmosphere made it extra special.

Kelvin Leitch in Concert!

We had the pleasure of welcoming the talented Kelvin Leitch to Shipston Lodge recently.

He treated our residents to a fantastic performance with hits from across the eras and a touch of the musicals too!

Creative Crafts & Tin Can Tumble!

Another brilliant craft session with Wendy this week, where residents made colourful 3D fruit.

To finish, we played a game of Tin Can Tumble—crafted by our very own residents! A perfect mix of creativity, fun and teamwork. Thank you, Wendy, for another joyful day!
