Residents at Forefaulds Care Home have been enjoying a busy and uplifting few weeks, filled with community spirit, celebration and quality time with loved ones.
A group of residents have recently begun volunteering at the Loaves and Fishes foodbank in East Kilbride, where they’ve been warmly welcomed by fellow volunteers. The gentlemen involved have particularly enjoyed meeting new people and feeling part of the wider community, helping with practical tasks such as weighing and measuring essential items including sugar, teabags, rice and chocolate.
One resident, Jim, shared how meaningful the experience has been, saying it is “such a worthwhile cause” and that he feels proud to be doing something positive to support the foodbank. The opportunity to give back has brought a real sense of purpose and connection for everyone involved.
Back at Forefaulds, there has been no shortage of fun either. In January, residents enjoyed a lively daytime rave, complete with a DJ, glow sticks, hand stamps and even a few novelty “shots”. The dancefloor was full as music from the 1990s through to today played, including some much‑loved Scottish clubland favourites, creating a fantastic atmosphere and plenty of smiles.
More recently, the home hosted a Valentine’s afternoon tea for residents and their loved ones. Spouses, family members and even a mother and daughter joined residents for a relaxed and romantic afternoon, enjoying delicious food, tea and gentle music. Events like these are always special at Forefaulds, where staff place great importance on creating opportunities for residents to spend meaningful time with family and friends.
