Say Hello to the Winner of the Carer's Christmas Hamper Competition… ...Darbyshire Care!

We are delighted to announce that Darbyshire Care's trio of Plymouth-based Hamilton House, Merchant House and Drake Nursing Home, are the winners of our Christmas Activity competition which we launched to help bring some festive cheer after a rather challenging 2022!

All that we asked was for care homes around the country to share with us their Christmas celebrations including events activities menus fundraising anything you did that was that little bit different to put a smile on residents faces!

That was it!

And much like Afternoon Tea Week in August 2022 you did us proud We were truly overwhelmed the nominations we received and we were sent hundreds we are delighted to say! (And it did take us some time to plough through them all)!

Once again we are sorry we could only pick one winner it was a very difficult choice the nominations were truly wonderful and inspirational demonstrating the time effort care and dedication care homes around the country took to make the festive season an extra special occasion!

Since it was so very difficult to pick an outright winner we have added for runner-up prizes a small gesture on our part but a way of saying thank you kindly and very well done for the enormous time and effort taken to respond to our competition and a £25 Marks & Spencer voucher is on its way to Focus Support in Newbury
