Bring Christmas Joy - Launching our #BEASANTA Campaign for Local Seniors

Christmas is now firmly on the horizon, and as the festive lights start to twinkle, our heartwarming charitable gift-giving campaign: #BEASANTA is getting underway.

Home Instead Be A Santa Tree

For many of us, the Christmas season is a time for family, laughter, and warmth. But for some local seniors in Cheshire West & Chester, it can be a deeply lonely time. That’s why, each year, we partner with wonderful community organisations to donate thoughtful gifts and deliver a little bit of Christmas cheer to those who need it most.

The Power of a Simple Gift

The generosity we witness during the #BEASANTA campaign is truly humbling. In recent years, our local community has stepped up to donate hundreds of gifts. Every single one of these gifts was delivered to a lonely senior, providing a moment of connection and joy during the festive season. A simple present can make the world of difference, showing someone who lives alone, they are remembered and valued at Christmastime.

How You Can #BEASANTA

This campaign simply couldn’t happen without the incredible support of local organisations, businesses, charities, schools, and community groups. They are the backbone of #BEASANTA, hosting our essential ‘gift trees’. Of course, the magic really happens when members of the public get involved and make a donation. Each year we’re genuinely humbled by people’s generosity and sense of giving. We have people from all generations who get involved and give their time and support to the campaign, which makes it a real community event.

Here’s how it works:

  • Visit one of the organisations listed below
  • Take a tag from the tree
  • Buy your gift and return it, unwrapped

Home Instead’s Community Team will do the rest and ensure your gift is delivered to a local senior person through one of our community partners.
