I recently started a wondeerful job as an Activities Co-ordinator in a Residential Care Home. I arrange various activities for the Residents, but sometimes it rings the changes to get "outside entertainment". I do have a small budget for such things, but I was womdering if anyone out there could suggest some "value for money", or better still, free entertainment for my lovely Residents. They are aged 70 - 100 and they like to have a good time. We are in the Bradford area in West Yorkshire. A suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Would any local am-dram groups come along to rehearse their play? It would provide a change of venue for them, and a good giggle for all when there are faux pas. Also, I wouldn't know where to start, but maybe a local college or university where they might have ventriloquists or other performers needing to hone their skills?

Another thing thay do at Dad's is to show a DVD in the small lounge and invite the residents to 'Come to the Pictures' They give out popcorn and ice cream and drinks during the film.
Get a bingo machine and see if you can find a local "outsider" to do some entertaining calling from time to time. Prizes need only be soap or biscuits etc!
