 Groundwork to the rear of our premises are underway. The improvements include relaying all slabbing, providing planters and a Summer house and proving Sheltered areas to walk around Abbeyfield House. We have been working with NoTurfTooTough, our nominated contractor, to maximise the use of the area for the residents benefit, and work should be completed bt the end of the month. 

We recently enjoyed a first visit from accordian player Jimmy Anderson and his two young apprentices Lewis and Archie. The residents really enjoyed the performance with the star of the show being the two youngsters who played the chanter and sang. Hopefully we will see the guys back again soon!

Strathaven Gala Day Parade 2026 featured some very special VIP guests – our Abbeyfield residents!

Our residents have always enjoyed watching the annual parade, but this year was extra special. For the first time ever, thanks to the generosity of the Community Bus, our residents were able to take part in the parade itself.

This wonderful opportunity meant that some residents who may otherwise have been unable to attend were not only able to see the parade firsthand, but also become part of it. Seeing their smiles as they joined the celebrations and experienced the event from within the parade was truly heartwarming.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this memorable day possible for our residents. 🚍🎉❤️

 The residents had a brilliant time as we once again welcomed the 'Shoogalie Road Productions' team to perform their Cinderella Pantomime. The residents laughed from to start to finish in what is a very memorable performance. Bravo and congratulations to the two brilliant actresses who make this amazing show happen. The show was non-stop, high energy, and filled with magic and laughs from start to finish. We loved seeing everyone having a great time together onstage and off it.
