Once again a member of staff was awarded a Highflyer Award for working above and beyond his duties:

Luis Andrade does not only work in a very professional manor, he is also very reliable, and enhances the residents’ quality of life with his musical talent.

To receive the pin with a golden wing (the company’s logo) was a big surprise for Luis, who dearly deserved it.

Well done Luis!

Memory Walk 2017 in Southampton

Once again our Chef Samantha Nash walked to fight Dementia organised by the Alzheimer’s Society.

She finished the 10km in a stunning 1 hour 20 minutes. Congratulations, Sam, from all at Birchy Hill! Well done!

Thousands joined together to raise money and awareness against dementia and Alzheimer’s in the inaugural Southampton Memory Walk on Sunday, 17^th September 2017.

More than 1,700 people walked around Southampton Common to highlight the disease’s impact as well as fund to support vital research and services.

The race was opened by Saints legend Matt Le Tissier who later tweeted how good the turn out for the race was.

 

Newlands had a surprise visitor yesterday in the form of a Canary outside, whilst we were being entertained by one of our artists, to our surprise if flew in and let me hold it.

A year ago the same thing happened in a Residents room and a Staff member kindly took it home.

After consulting our Residents we all decided they were meant to be with us at Newlands so we have 2 sisters aka Ann and Angelina in memory of the people they visited.

The annual Residents’ BBQ was a great success.

With the wonderful sunshine, lovely guests, yummy food, and cheerful entertainment by MUSK, the Milton Ukulele Strummers Klub. Everybody enjoyed the afternoon to the full.

The very engaging music made everyone tapping or even singing to the well known tunes. Our Residents and their guests were extremely happy and left the party in the late afternoon.

Saturday night everyone went to bed with a big smile on the face.

A very big “Thank you” to MUSK who delivered first class music, and to our Chef Alan who prepared a delicious BBQ .
