Abbeyfield Homes shine bright in Festive Decoration Challenge contest
As is customary at Abbeyfield, Christmas time brings with it our favourite of all competitions, the Festive Decoration Challenge. We challenge our residents, staff and volunteers to transform their houses and homes into a festive winter wonderland.
Abbeyfield House, Bramhall
Residents in Abbeyfield House Bramhall contributed the heart and soul to Abbeyfield House's Christmas display, adorning their home with home-made decorations. They also made cards for their loved ones whilst enjoying mince pies and hot chocolate, chose gifts from a mobile Avon shop, and even enjoyed a performance from a bagpipe player!
Esk Moors Lodge, Whitby
The tree at Esk Moors Lodge is one of the best we've seen. The residents clearly enjoyed decorating it themselves to add that extra bit of homely feeling to the festive season. It looked great lit up in the evenings, and we loved the customised advent calendar with a chocolate orange in the middle.
Lee House, Wimbledon
Using a mix of plastic, fabric, balloons and real foliage, Lee House residents Hilary and Pat and activity coordinator Yvonne Ellis created an eye-catching range of floral arrangements which brightened up the lounge, and a window display of holly and berries. For an eco-friendly element, they also used the leftover bits to create a small wreath.
Congratulations to all our Festive Decoration Challenge winners!
If you would like to see more fantastic decorations hung around our houses and homes, please take a look at our social media channels.
