Springhill celebrate Nurses Day 2020
The 12th of May 2020 marks International Nurses Day, an annual event which celebrates the work of the nursing community, now more vital than ever as the world’s nurses remain essential in combating COVID-19.
Here are some of our staff from Springhill enjoying a little tea party as an extra special thank you and also in recognition of the nurses and key workers in our local and wider communities at this difficult time.

Springhill staff have spring in their step
Staff in Springhill have been trying hard to keep mentally and physically fit during these uncertain times by holding their own slimming club.
It has been a great motivation for the team while their usual classes have been closed during lock down.
After just a few weeks, the staff are certainly maintaining a spring in their step and having a positive mental attitude as they compete for slimmer of the week.
Well done Gill who was the most recent winner!
Since the club started, we’ve had members join who are looking to gain weight.
Being underweight can also make people feel vulnerable and affect mental health so now all the club members are motivating each other as they try to reach their goals.

Springhill ladies enjoy table tennis tournament
Staying mobile during lockdown is extremely important for our residents as the movement not only benefits muscles and joints but is an invaluable way of helping them to maintain good mental health.
Here is Jean and Irene, residents in our Springhill Care Home, having a great time playing table tennis thanks to a make shift ‘court’ created by our staff.
The ladies felt wonderful after the activity and had such fun, that they didn’t even really realise they were exercising!
