Residents at The Grange enjoy a fun-filled day out

Arcade games, hot doughnuts and a delicious lunch was on the cards for residents at The Grange, on their day trip to Southend Seafront!

Days out with residents are always a great way to spend the day, a chance to explore their communities, which have so much to offer, and to have some fun. Runwood Homes’ staff teams, no matter their role, all support in taking their residents on trips out.

At the end of January, the wonderful team at The Grange, in Wickford, Essex took residents on an exciting outing to Southend Seafront, for a packed day full of great activities and things to do.

First, residents enjoyed a lovely chat and a lunch at a café. After the meal, residents enjoyed a sweet treat of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream.

With clear blue skies and a shining sun, residents then enjoyed a stroll on the seafront, stopping for sugary sweet hot doughnuts and looking out across the pier.  

The fun did not stop there, the team then took residents to the arcades, where everyone had great fun trying out the impressive variety of arcade games.

Home Manager at The Grange, Marina Hudspeth, was thrilled to be able support the Southend seafront outing, and commented:

“All of us at The Grange were so excited to offer a trip to Southend Seafront with our residents. Day trips offer great benefits and many different activities and experiences which might not be available within the home. Visiting the seafront and enjoying the fresh air is great for wellbeing and the arcade games were a lovely way to spend the afternoon. The residents really enjoyed the day and are excited for our next outing.”

In the evening, residents relaxed at home after a busy but brilliant day. Everyone at The Grange looks forward to their next outing.
