Be A Santa
Help us spread a little Christmas kindness across Newcastle-under-Lyme & Stoke-on-Trent
Christmas is a time to be giving, sharing and making special memories, but for some older people in our community, the festive season can be particularly lonely or difficult time. That’s why we’re delighted to be taking part in the Be A Santa campaign this year, helping to spread a little extra Christmas kindness to older people across the local community.
At Home Instead Newcastle-under-Lyme & Stoke-on-Trent, we believe that everyone deserves to feel remembered, valued and included at Christmas. Through Be A Santa, we’re inviting our wonderful local community to come together and help make the festive season brighter for older people who may otherwise go without a little Christmas cheer.
How can you get involved?
This year, we’re making it easy for people to get involved by hosting numerous local donation stations where you can drop off your festive contributions.
You can find our donation stations at:
- Dunrobin Surgery
- Glebedale Surgery
- Mayfield Surgery
- Longton Hall Surgery
- Belgrave Surgery
- Nationwide Newcastle-under-Lyme
Our donation stations will be open from Monday 9th November until Thursday 10th December, giving plenty of time to get involved and help us spread some Christmas magic.
Whether you’re able to donate a small gift, a thoughtful treat or something to bring a smile to someone’s face, every contribution can make a difference. It’s not about how much you give, but the thought and kindness behind it.
What can you donate?
You don’t have to spend a fortune to make someone’s Christmas special. Even a small, thoughtful gift can bring a smile to someone’s face and remind them that they are being thought of.
