A little insight into our week so far here at Barnes lodge 📸
On Monday morning we were joined by our good friends at Nexus School! Our residents loved chatting about their lives and asking the students questions while playing games and getting creative with some arts and crafts 🎨
Yesterday we had our church service with St Stephen’s church (there will be a separate post for this 👀🎤 so stay tuned!)
Then today, we started off the day with Bingo and then we took a quick trip to the shops to get some plants for our garden 🪴 before residents got competitive with some games this afternoon 🎲
And of course, our residents are nervously awaiting the first England match of the World Cup, come on England! ⚽️🏴
