Merchants House kicked off the first of the resident networking days! Residents from Hyde Park House and Radcliffe House travelled over to Merchants House and enjoyed an afternoon playing games in the sunshine, followed by a delicious BBQ.
The event was a fantastic opportunity for residents from different services to meet each other, and feedback from residents was really positive. The team and residents are looking forward to the next event!

Every Friday at Merchants House our residents take a trip down memory lane with a new group activity – Retro Mania! One resident comments, “It’s like stepping into a time machine.” Another resident enjoys reminiscing about playing the games when he was younger & enjoys humming the theme tunes to the iconic games. As well as a fun activity for friendly competition, some residents have observed improvements in their hand-eye coordination!

John OTA comments: “We couldn’t be prouder of our resident for overcoming the challenges that 2020 has brought and working so hard to achieve his CBT and save for his first moped!”
It might be lockdown, but the team and residents at Merchants House enjoyed a fun day in their garden with prizes to be won by all!
