On Thursday 31st July 2025, we opened the doors of our Hayling Island office to celebrate a very special milestone — 10 years of delivering outstanding care across the Havant community.
What began as a small team with a big mission has grown into a dedicated family of Care Professionals, support staff, and clients all working together to make a real difference in the lives of older adults and their families. Over the last decade, Home Instead Havant has helped hundreds of people live independently at home, supported families through difficult times, and built lasting relationships rooted in trust, kindness and compassion.
To mark the occasion, we welcomed clients, their families, our amazing Care Professionals and members of the local community for an Open Day celebration at our office on St Mary’s Road.
We were honoured to be joined by the Mayor of Havant, who kindly helped us commemorate the day and recognise the important role Home Instead plays in supporting local health and wellbeing.
The event was full of smiles, stories and shared memories. Guests enjoyed tea, cake, and a chance to connect with the people behind the care — many of whom have been part of our journey from the very beginning.
Reflecting on the day, Mark Gettinby, Franchise Owner at Home Instead Havant, shared:
“We’ve been honoured to support so many individuals and families over the past decade. Today was a chance to say thank you — to our clients, to our team, and to everyone who’s trusted us to care for their loved ones. It’s been a privilege, and we’re excited for what the future holds.”
As we celebrate this incredible 10-year journey, we’re also looking to the future — continuing to innovate, grow, and ensure that personalised, compassionate care is available to everyone who needs it.
To everyone who has been a part of our story so far — thank you. Here’s to the next ten years of care, connection, and community.
