‘Handy’ Ruth shows Martlets manager Jess and puts the finishing touches to our new Activities Workbench, cleverly designed to hold the interest of middle floor residents at The Martlets. It features a wealth of safe tools, ironmongery, latches, magnets, Meccano and other stuff to fiddle and tinker with, especially designed to engage residents who during their former working lives handled such implements. The workbench is now situated permanently outside our Happiness Haven and we’ll be keeping a close eye on how it is received and used by residents.
