Home Instead's Community Work: Impact and Importance
We continue to drive positive impact by supporting local community groups and charities.
In 2026, we have decided to channel our support into Tamworth & Lichfield with Janis, our Community Support Officer, liaising with local charities and groups to build stronger partnerships and connections within the community. In previous years we have raised money for charities including Cancer Research and our Winter Warmers’ campaign where donated clothes to a local homeless shelter in Atherstone.
Tasty Cafe in Lichfield
This quaint cafe, nestled in the heart of Lichfield, offers a tasty menu offering breakfast, sandwiches, light bites and cakes. In March 2026 , the cafe raised money for the St Giles hospice where proceeds from cake and tea / coffee sales went directly to this worthy cause. The Cafe also ran a ‘Book Swap’ where Home Instead Tamworth & Lichfield donated over 30 books to the cafe. Carol, the Tasty Cafe owner, was very appreciative of the book donations!
Our hope is that these books will bring a little extra comfort and enjoyment to visitors ; whether they fancy a quiet moment with a cuppa or want to share a story with friends. At Home Instead, we’re always looking for small ways to make a positive difference in our community, and we’re so pleased to support such a welcoming local business.
Odd and Socks Day – Raising money for Huntington’s Disease
Our lovely Care Professionals donned odd socks to raise money for a worthy cause ; Huntington’s Disease. This incurable disease affects the body’s nervous system ; the network of nerve tissues in the brain and spinal cord that coordinate your body’s activities.
Once a year, ‘Odds and Socks Day’ is a fundraising event to help raise money for this charity. We raised £50 for the worthy cause ; which will help raise awareness and support the medical research in finding a cure.
