Five of us tackled part 1 of a big makeover task for Admiral Jellicoe House, painting the dementia garden bright colours so the residents can use it and reminisce about their time in the Royal Navy / Royal Marines.

It was a lovely sunny day and the garden was quite the sun trap, so the beautiful boat seating area provided respite for weary arms, as did the lovely refreshments from the kitchen!

We made some progress with the fence panels but more coats of paint are needed and there are a lot more panels to paint, so look out for another task for this soon!

Admiral Jellicoe House Dementia Boat area
Adding nautical colour to the fences around the Dementia Boat

Admiral Jellicoe House is a care home for Royal Navy, Royal Marines and WREN Veterans and their spouses. It is part of the Royal Naval Benevolent Trust charity based in Portsmouth. The home has been opened for just over 2 years. We have a life size boat in the grounds that has a large screen which simulates being on the bridge of a ship. This area needs to be made in to vibrant colourful and inviting area.
