Whitgift Care, has announced that it is partnering with the leading children’s cleft charity, Smile Train UK, for the remainder of 2021, and will be launching a series of fundraising events for residents, staff and their families living in its care homes and sheltered housing – as well as the wider community – to take part in.

It has been a challenging year in the world of music making, however an outdoor music recital at Whitgift House, provided musical light at the end of the covid tunnel, as Whitgift School Upper Sixth IB students headed across the field with voices and instruments tuned.

Wilhelmina House has received a glowing report from the care home regulatory body, Care Quality Commission (CQC), for keeping its residents safe during the COVID-19 pandemic thanks to its rigorous infection and prevention control procedures. CQC, as part of its response to COVID-19, is inspecting care homes up and down the country to investigate the safety of residents and Wilhelmina House was given just 24 hours’ notice before the inspection took place.

Our residents love to cook, especially sweet baked goods, so this week Whitgift House residents made apple turnovers.

Whitgift House residents and care staff were serenaded today with music and songs performed by students from Whitgift School.
