Recently, our care homes have been doing a great deal to support a range of wonderful charities. Giving back is something that truly matters to us, and these are just a few lovely examples from across our homes. ✨

At Peverel Green Care Home, the team hosted a summer fete, raising over £500 for Alzheimer's Society, a cause close to many of our hearts as we support residents living with dementia every day.

Over at Mill House Care Home Witney, a special fundraiser was held for Thames Valley Air Ambulance. The idea came from receptionist Maria, whose granddaughter Rumi has been treated by the service twice. Together, they raised an incredible £517.50.

Kingston Care Home brought everyone together for an open garden fundraiser in support of Princess Alice Hospice, raising over £200 for such a meaningful cause.

Amy Woodgate House has also been busy, marking International Day of Charity with a Breast Cancer Awareness day, as well as taking part in the Kingston Hospital Charity Walk ‘Walk This Way’.

These are just a handful of the many inspiring moments across our homes. With Macmillan Coffee Mornings coming up, teams taking part in Dementia UK’s 30 Miles in September challenge, and the Birmingham Memory Walk in support of , there is so much more to look forward to. 💜

It’s wonderful to see Acton Care Centre getting involved with World Alzheimer’s Month 💜

Our wonderful residents have been busy creating their very own kites, with each one bringing a little bit of their own personality and creativity to the activity. It’s also a lovely way to start conversations and raise awareness while enjoying some time together 🪁

A lovely idea from the team at Acton, and we can’t wait to see the finished kites taking to the skies 😊

As summer comes to an end, we’re looking back at some of our August highlights across our Gold Care Homes ☀️💜

With plenty of summer sunshine, our homes found ways to enjoy the summer while keeping cool, with ice creams and ice cream van visits proving particularly popular! 🍦

We also put the kettle on for Afternoon Tea Week, enjoyed some well-earned downtime for National Relaxation Day and made the most of the Summer Bank Holiday.

Here are just a few snapshots from August across our homes 📸
