Who We Are
We aim to provide a homely environment that respects the potential of each individual and attempts to work towards each person contributing their own unique part to the whole of the community. Below are some stories to provide a snapshot of what some of our residents are encouraged to develop
Freddie
My name is Freddie. I have been at Nutley Hall for quite a few years but have recently moved from Phoenix to Oaklea house.
I like living in Oaklea. It’s a nice house and the staff are nice. I am friends with all the other residents there. I like my new room and the big garden.
The workshops I like the most are the weavery and the bakery. In the weavery I am working on a scarf at the moment. I’m a keen baker too and know how to bake delicious biscuits. My favourite biscuits are almond biscuits.
I’m also a good painter, look out for my paintings when you come to visit Nutley Hall next.
Lily
Lily has been at Nutley Hall since 2019. She used to live in Oaklea but recently moved to the main house.
Down in Oaklea’s garden we have several chickens, one of them is Polly who recently had two chicks herself. Whenever Lily can, she has a stroll around the garden, saying hello to the chickens and catching some sun.
Laura
Laura has made a sun hive in the ‘Day workshop’ and after a bee swarm was collected in a skep made by Alison, Laura with help from Charlotte transferred the bees and is now very proud of her newly learned skills as a beekeeper.
