Community Links

Maintaining and encouraging an interest in the outside world is a vital part of the ethos of life at Birtley House. As some residents are no longer able to visit the outside community we endeavour to bring the community to them instead, which helps to ensure a varied and balanced lifestyle for all.

Birtley House has always had strong connections to the local community and we and our residents have many opportunities to enjoy both indoor and outdoor events with them. Some smaller events may be part of the monthly Activities programme e.g. a visit from a local school, hosting a coffee morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer support or our annual Christmas Choral Concert, with a visit from an excellent local choir. However we also hold a small number of larger events in the parkland e.g. the annual Sculpture Exhibition in May, providing a continuous source of interest for our residents and opportunities to enjoy these with their families and friends.
