Christmas is always a magical time across our care homes and services, as our care teams work hard to plan festive activities to treat residents and service users. Here are some of the highlights from December:
Alan Titchmarsh says thank you to all at The Lawn care home
At The Lawn, our Alton-based residential care home, residents had a lovely surprise when TV gardening royalty and national treasure, Alan Titchmarsh, dropped in to say hello.
Mr Titchmarsh was visiting The Lawn’s residents and care team in his official capacity as Deputy Lieutenant of the County of Hampshire to say thank you to everyone for all their hard work during the COVID pandemic and resulting lockdowns.

Spreading Christmas Cheer with The Royal Family
We’ve been supported by The Royal Family since the Charity’s earliest work caring for World War I veterans. Her Majesty The Queen is our Patron, and Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra is our President.
Alongside giving us the opportunity to share our work with their Instagram followers, The Royal Family also supported us to ask for #ChristmasCheer messages on social media to share with older people we support. We received lovely messages, which gave a lot of joy to our residents and service users.
