Residents at Woodbury Manor Care Home are continuing to support local pubs as they enter their 6th year running their monthly lunch club.
The long-standing initiative sees residents visiting a different local pub each month, with several residents having taken part in the outings consistently since they first began – making the lunches a well-established part of life at the care home.
Staff at the home regularly comment that residents are actively involved throughout the experience, from choosing the pub to engaging with pub staff and other customers.
Care Home Manager, Benjamin Oni, said: “We’re lucky to have so many wonderful local pubs right on our doorstep. Spending time out in the community always has a noticeable impact on our residents. They are more confident, more engaged and take real pride in making their own decisions. These visits provide a strong sense of normality and independence, and residents continue talking about their experiences long after they return to the home.”
The monthly outings are designed to promote independence, confidence, and social connection, forming part of Woodbury Manor’s wider commitment to supporting residents’ wellbeing through meaningful activities. These activities reflect AgeCare’s core values, ensuring that every resident has the opportunity to live life with purpose, dignity, and connection to the wider community.
The lunches also highlight the important role local pubs play as community hubs, providing welcoming spaces that bring people together. Woodbury Manor Care Home is proud to support local businesses and remains committed to maintaining strong links with the surrounding community, in line with AgeCare’s commitment to fostering meaningful, engaging experiences for residents.
