  • Warm welcomes and thank yous – as we introduce new team members, celebrate returning colleagues and recognise residents, who go above and beyond
  • Creative community moments – including the Craft Group at Edwin Court, talented knitters making baby hats for local hospitals and residents creating beautiful handmade blankets
  • Updates from our schemes – such as refurbishments at Oak Apple Court, drop?in session details, and a special visit from Shannon the miniature therapy pony
  • Plus, more – ranging from an update on this year’s Community Fun Days, keeping us updated with your latest details, sharing compliments and complaints and a special trip down memory lane… 

Whether you enjoy reading about local events or simply seeing familiar faces, this edition has something for everyone. Pop the kettle on, sit back and relax in your favourite chair and enjoy reading Community Matters Summer 2026 from cover-to-cover (and don’t forget to spot the sun icons!)
