Great Railway Journeys

As the season changes, we are looking to a new phase of activities within our homes, one of which is the Great Railway Journeys project, which will run until the end of October. There has been strong engagement from our homes in this project with over half registering to take part. Residents enjoy the inventive element of creating their own ‘virtual’ railway journey, involving activities and competitions, individual to their home.  To encourage reminiscence, each home receives a varied activity pack, including a journey planner, destination postcards and destination recipes. Participation in the project aims to spark imagination, broaden horizons and engage memories and storytelling as each home creates their own rail journey across the UK. You will see pictures and information on this shared throughout the homes on display boards this month and we are very fortunate to receive postcards and photographs back at head office. We look forward to sharing these positive stories of railways journeys within the homes.
