On 15th July the manor house hosted the first garden party since COVID. Lots of people turned out to join residents and staff. There was a singer, pony rides, balloon sculpture, cream teas as well as the usual stalls. Members of our two sponsored football teams turned up with a goal to give children the opportunity to try and score against them.
The weather didn’t spoil the party

Residents celebrated the Coronation; the plan was to have a garden party but unfortunately as is typical here in the UK, it wasn’t quite warm enough on the Bank Holiday Monday!
Residents were invited to the Coronation of Charles III

Doesn’t the dining room look amazing? everyone had a personal invitation tied up with ribbon and what a spread.
Girls’ Football team visit Manor House

On Sunday 26th March the Radcliffe Olympic U13 Girls’ team were finally able to visit the Manor House. Covid and bad weather has thwarted several attemps to show off the shirts sponsored by the Manor House. The girls arrived after their away match at Edwalton. The Manor House sponsors the away strip for the team. The girls demostrated some of their skills in the garden in front of residents, some of whom watched from inside and others as you can see, braved the elements outside. The Manor House enjoys many visitors, but it is always a joy for both the elderly residents and the young to interact with each other.

More Ball Games

I hope their aim is good; that ball looks harder than the balloons they were playing with last week!

New Sponsorship
The Manor House is proud to announce a new sponsorship deal with the Radcliffe Olympic girls’ U13 football team. the home is sponsoring the away strip which now displays a logo and the Radcliffe Manor House name. By sponsoring the team we are making links between the generations and because our name is on the away shirts, we will be seen accoss the county when the girls are playing away from home. Last year the home sponsored the U10 boys team and our name appears on their home shirts ensuring that locals people are aware of their not for profit care home in the heart of the community.
