Godfrey Care services have never been afraid to sink their teeth into Halloween festivities and they’ve been hellishly busy again in 2024 to mark the scariest day of the year.

Our Ash Tree House service in Burton-on-Trent has certainly been in high spirits, starting the Halloween celebrations with a fun-filled day of pumpkin picking. They headed out to nearby Garden King to participate in the garden centre’s annual Pumpkin Woods event.

Everyone followed the 300-metre autumnal woodland walk, full of spine-chilling surprises, and explored the pumpkin patch to hand-pick their own pumpkins. The trip was full of smiles, laughter, and a wicked sense of adventure. 

On returning to Ash Tree House armed with their orange bounty, the fun continued with a pumpkin carving session. The people we support and the service team were frightfully creative, turning their pumpkins into a unique assortment of demonic designs.

Heather Wilkinson, Registered Manager at Ash Tree House, said:

“It was heartwarming to see the service team and the people we support working side-by-side, sharing ideas, and enjoying each other’s company. They also collaborated really well when we organised some Halloween arts and crafts. These kinds of seasonal activities are so important in creating a vibrant and connected environment within our home. They allow the people we support to engage in hands-on experiences, socialise, and express their creativity, all while celebrating festive traditions together.”

Similar scenes are taking place at our services throughout the region, with homes packed with Jack-o’-lanterns and festooned in all manner of blood-curdling decorations. When it comes to Halloween fun, Godfrey Care always put in a monster effort!
