Family Day – 2023
Knellwood Care Home once again successfully organized its annual Family Day on the August 18, despite a morning rain shower.
As the clouds parted, families arrived with smiles and anticipation. The team at Knellwood ensured every detail was executed flawlessly, from the delightful decorations to the delectable spread of food.
The aroma of a sizzling BBQ and the lively music from the Sundaes and D-Day Dollies combined to create a fun atmosphere. A bouncy castle and exciting games for the kids were very popular. Laughter filled the air and the children revelled in the festivities.
A big thank you goes to the Activity Coordinators (Tracey & Lin), our maintenance team, the housekeeping and the entire care directorate, as well as our dedicated volunteers for orchestrating this annual Family Day. Your hard work and dedication brought smiles, laughter and cherished memories to our residents and their families.
Knellwood once again showed its commitment to not only providing exceptional care but also nurturing a community where the spirit of family thrives, and the joy of togetherness is celebrated year after year.

Cove Brass Band – 2023
Cove Brass started life in September 2015 when a group of like-minded musicians organised weekly rehearsals in Cove, Farnborough intending to provide quality Brass Band musical entertainment for the local community and beyond. They currently have around 20 members meeting weekly in Cove, Farnborough. They provide music for a variety of events from full band concerts to small ensembles playing for Fetes, Fayres or accompanying carol singing in and around the area local to Farnborough.

Your dedication to spreading happiness and creating memorable moments is truly appreciated, and we are grateful for the time and effort you’ve invested in bringing smiles to our residents’ faces.
