Welcome
Tynwald offers a varied, year-round programme of activities which residents are invited to join in with as much or as little as they wish. The Trustees, Managers and staff understand the importance of doing everything they can to keep residents active, occupied and entertained. The full-time Activity Co-ordinator is responsible for organising and delivering the activity programme, including the recruitment of volunteers, hiring musicians and performers, and organising trips out.
The activities programme aims to reflect the interests of the residents and provide a balance of physical, social, cognitive and spiritual activities and is constantly evolving as the wishes, interests and needs of residents change. Current activities include:-
• Darts and other target games
• Armchair aerobics and ball games
• Bingo, card games, dominoes and board games
• Crosswords and other word games
• Quizzes and reminiscing activities
• Music and singing
• Talks and slide-shows
• Creative activities and baking
• Home Communion
Members of the local community are involved throughout the year, and especially for the festive season and special events. Local traders contribute to the annual Strawberry Tea garden party and musical and dance groups supplement the weekly professional entertainments.
Tynwald is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers who visit regularly to provide additional activities, outings or just a friendly chat.
Every week Hythe Alive and a group of people with learning disabilities tend the garden, much to the enjoyment of the residents. Residents are also visited by young people working towards the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
