January 2021: New Year at Sovereign Court

Sovereign Court Newsletter: January Edition

Firstly we would like to wish you all a happy and healthy New Year! We’re still trying to figure out where the year went, but I’m sure like all of us you’re happy to see the back of 2020 and looking forward to a much better 2021!

We’ve had a very busy month here at Sovereign Court over the holiday period, with the highlight being our amazing Christmas day which was filled with fun, laughter and plenty of festive spirit! Whilst it might not have been the day we’re used to, our residents still enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, some lovely gifts and plenty of parties organised by our Lifestyle Support Gemma- it’s safe to say all our staff really went above and beyond to make the best of the situation- we couldn’t be more proud and thankful.

Coming Up This Month

We have lots of exciting stuff happening this month including our New Year’s Day party to ensure we kick off 2021 with a bang! We also have a pamper day, appreciation day, A Chinese night we are even celebrating Spaghetti day along with lots of other great activities- so keep your eyes peeled for our photo updates on the Mariposa Facebook page.

Our Lifestyle Support Gemma will also be starting her fund raising up again- raising money so we can hopefully get the residents out on day trips out as soon as we can.  But whilst we remain on lockdown she also has lots of amazing ideas up her sleeve for indoor activities which we cant wait to share with you!
