Collecting Christmas gifts in Barnard Castle for Age UK

“Be A Santa” in Barney

At Home Instead we have been running our “Be A Santa” gift campaign in Darlington for many years, but this is the first time we have collected gifts in Barnard Castle.

The people of Barnard Castle have been incredibly generous during our collection, and we are very grateful for the support of Morrisons supermarket and their customers.

All the gifts have been donated to the local Age UK in Barnard Castle and will be given to local people living alone and without family to spread some festive cheer!

It is fantastic to be able to extend this festive campaign to the people of Barnard Castle and we look forward to carrying this on for many years.

Around Barnard Castle

Did you know at Home Instead we provide companionship visits for people living in care homes in Barnard Castle? We know that family can’t always visit as often as they would like, and staff at the care home often are not able to spend as much time with their residents as they would like.

A friendly face from the same regular companion can make all the difference to someone’s day or week. Someone to spend quality time with them and chat, play games, go out for walks or shopping, listen to music together, visit old friends, attend clubs, go out for meals, arts and crafts …… and so much more!

We have been staying in touch with the residential homes in Barnard Castle such as King’s Court, The Manor House, Abbeyfield House, Beaconsfield Court and Charles Dickens Lodge.
