Lapwing residents get crafty this Christmas

At the start of this year, two residents at our Lapwing Apartments extra care community, Debbie and Janet, set up an Arts and Crafts Group. Throughout the year they have been meeting to craft and create beautiful things. They have had themed their crafting around the time of year and put up displays for Easter, a fantastic poppy display for Remembrance Day and lots more in between.

Their last session of the year was Christmas themed. They also enjoyed an arty Christmas party, which they all contributed to. A wonderful festive time was had by all!

The craft group is just one of the many social events that residents arrange to help to make everyone feel included and to reduce social isolation. The crafts help to keep minds and bodies busy and bring people together over shared interests.
