We send the week
A themed pack arrives every week, 52 themes a year, rooted in Irish life and the Irish calendar.
How it works
A new week, ready to run
For nursing homes and care homes in Ireland. Built for activity coordinators and the staff who step in when they're off. Little or no preparation, and nothing to buy.
Print and go
Each session is one sheet: staff instructions on the front, a large picture for residents on the back.
Record and share
Evidence and log sheets so you have a record of what was offered, and a noticeboard flyer so families know what's on.
Inside each week
Seven sessions, every week
The same seven session types, in the same order, so staff and residents know the rhythm.
| Session | What happens |
|---|---|
| No. 1 | Reminiscence circle Pictures and prompts to share stories as a group |
| No. 2 | Bingo A picture board with large images and words |
| No. 3 | Quiz and trivia Questions that start conversation, not tests |
| No. 4 | Chair-based movement Seated movement printed step by step |
| No. 5 | Sensory session Something to hold, see and talk about |
| No. 6 | Music and singalong Song titles to choose from, no equipment needed |
| No. 7 | Arts and crafts A bold outline to photocopy, one per resident |
Staff side
Plain steps, phrases to say word for word, and how to adapt for earlier, middle and later stages.
Resident side
One large, clear picture to hold up, chosen for people with visual difficulties.
Safety first
Risk notes and supervision guidance on every sheet. Nothing to source from outdoors.
