Ghosts and Games: Celebrating Halloween in our Care and Support services

This Halloween, some of our care and support residents took part in a spooky competition.

Residents and support workers alike threw themselves into the spirit of things and had a thrilling time! We were blown away by their creativity and enthusiasm. 

The three categories were: ‘best fancy dress’, ‘best activities’ and ‘best decorations’.   

Congratulations to all our winners and runners-up! 

Best Fancy Dress 

Winner: The Mount 

Our residents embraced the spooky theme with enthusiasm and style. They put up cobwebs in the communal lounge and got dressed up for the evening.

Runner-Up: Pioneer House 

Residents from our supported housing schemes across Chelmsford got together for a party. Everyone got dressed up, whether as a witch, a ghostbuster or a pirate.

Best Activities
