Southmead care home sings its heart out at Britain’s biggest carolling sing along

A care home in Southmead was delighted to take part in the nation’s biggest carolling sing-along. 

Residents and team members at Care UK’s Trymview Hall, on Southmead Road, headed out onto their doorstep, alongside people across the country, to take part in the official Doorstep Carols. 

Last year, more than 125,000 people took part in the initative that sees the nation to take to their front doors and sing-along to well-known carols and Christmas songs in unison. This year, Care UK was an official supporter of the initiative, with residents in more than 126 of its homes taking part in various ways.

Those at Trymview Hall were joined by residents’ families for the festive fun. Carols sung at the event included resident favourites: ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’, ‘Once in Royal David’s City’, and ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’.  

Nicole Anderson, Home Manager at Trymview Hall, said: “We had a wonderful time singing along to our favourite carols, drinking mulled wine and getting into the Christmas spirit. 

“Although we are unable to welcome the community into the home as we have done in previous years, Doorstep Carols offered the perfect way for us to connect with local people and help to spread some cheer across the local area. Having families join us was the cherry on the cake, and residents loved having the furry friends surprise them for the afternoon.

“Doorstep carols was a wonderful success, and we are looking forward to taking part again next year!”

Trymview Hall provides full-time residential and dementia care, with 66 ensuite bedrooms, and has been designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence. The care home will incorporate space for hobby and leisure activities and will include its own cinema, hairdressing salon and café.
