In a nutshell
Diane Whitehead, Manager, says: "We have a group called re-cycled rhythm. All of their instruments are made from re-cycled material and they meet every week to practice their performance. They usually have routines which they showcase at events. This was the idea of one of our residents - it's typical of the innovation you see in this Village. Residents have travelled to Greece to learn to sail, swam with dolphins in Mexico and, closer to home, are always putting on a show, potting plants in the greenhouse or doing something that involves the wider community.  The welcome here is enormous and the activity is continuous - but residents and staff are gentle and kind and you can have the privacy if you need it."

Joyce Loveday (resident): Joyce was heavily involved in the development of Brunswick Gardens long before it was built, mainly through her former links with Woodhouse Community Forum which supported the project from 2002. She attended weekly Friends meetings in a local club and helped organise activities and events.

Joyce is the first to admit she keeps herself very busy in the Village, working in the coffee bar twice a week, acting as a contact for the local charity shop and helping whenever she is needed. She is also taking weekly piano lessons with a tutor who comes to the Village.

She was one of the first to move in the Village and at the time said living there would seem like being on holiday in a hotel. She now says that has turned out to be true. She was previously lonely living on her own and avoided going out in the evenings. Those days are now over and she admits she doesn't know what she would have done as she got older if the Village had not been built.
