On Wednesday we hosted the Abbeyfield Visual Arts competition in partnership with Strathaven Academy. Pupils from S1 - S3 were kind enough to display their artwork in the Abbeyfield lounge for the residents to see whilst the judges picked a winner. This is the first time the competition has taken place since 2019 having stopped due to COVID-19. It was really great to get the competition up and running again and to see how happy the residents were to be involved and to chat with the young artists. 

Thank you to the teachers and students of Strathaven Academy for providing such a wonderful variety of artwork to a very high standard and to our judges Les and Mhairi who did not have an easy job picking the winner. 

We look forward to hopefully making this annual event once again building on the success of this year’s competition. 

The winner was Alice Anderson with her entry displayed below.

The month of June saw a major programme of replacing windows delivered. As part of our programme to reduce energy costs, the original double-glazing windows have been replaced with triple Glazing, A++ rated windows.

Working with EK Windows & Doors, a coordinated installation programme was followed that minimized disruption to residents & families. EK Windows & Doors delivered a very professional approach to customer care and we are delighted with the finished product! Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate the needs of the residents was evident, and we appreciated working with them

  A huge thank you to Strathaven Pipe Band who entertained the residents last night as part of their Gala day preparations. A really superb performance and we managed to avoid the rain which is always a bonus.

Thank you and good luck for the Gala Parade on Saturday.

We are delighted to announce that after a recent unannounced inspection from the Care Inspectorate we have received two 5's (Very Good) for how well we support our residents well being and our staffing.
