Jimmy’s Connected

Jul 23, 2025

The communal lounge is now closed until further notice at Tonge Court, due to our refurbishment works.

One resident, Jimmy Eyre, was particularly missing the use of the communal TV, as he could not get any of his own TV’s to work. So Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officer, Garry Holt, attended with RBH’s Independent Living Officer, Michelle Emerson, to see if we could be of assistance and to our surprise Jimmy had 5 TV’s that were not in use.

Through the process of elimination, we identified that 3 TV’s were no longer functional and discarded them on Jimmy’s behalf. We then managed to get one of the remaining televisions operational and tuned-in.

Jimmy was really pleased, so much so that we’ve hardly seen him in the main corridors since.

Helping Hand
