Yesterday the #CommonwealthGames ended & we'd like to take this opportunity to reflect on our own #AnchorGames. Residents & colleagues shared successes & smiles, all while enjoying the benefits of physical activity. Here are a few of our favourite moments https://t.co/RaVIW3qXdB https://t.co/9crK44vvy5

On Friday, our Rainbow Network organised their very own Pride event. It was the first time since the pandemic that members managed to meet face-to-face. The day kicked off with a coffee morning and was filled with activities such as bingo and quizzes. https://t.co/zdcvPjAJry https://t.co/ivsWYlquBB

Although we mostly prefer solitude, having humans around to give us the occasional treat and head scratch improves our mood. Anchor recognises this & has a "human friendly" policy in place so our servants can live with us. Purrfect! #InternationalCatDay https://t.co/E6730bST24 https://t.co/TIxwYctHaX

As well as being good for physical health, sport can reinforce bonds through teamwork and sharing of successes. We love seeing photos of our residents and colleagues participating in the #AnchorGames & making memories to treasure forever https://t.co/RaVIW3qXdB #CommonwealthGames https://t.co/0Ya10VBIs8
