She’s been part of the Let’s Move family for 5 years and swears it’s the exercises that keep her young and full of energy.
Happy birthday, Margaret — you are truly amazing and such an inspiration to us all. We love you! 💕💪

Today is World Mental Health Day. For many older adults, loneliness and isolation can significantly impact mental wellbeing💚

A listening ear and consistent companionship are just as vital as physical care. Our Care Professionals are trained to spot changes in mood and are often the most trusted connection for our clients.

Remember to check in on a loved one or neighbour today. A simple conversation can make all the difference💭🏡

Today, Thurs 9th October, Home Instead went along to the launch of the BATON OF HOPE's fabulous Chatty Bench initiative in Festival Place. Chatty Bench is all about coming together, kindness, friendly faces, conversations and a reminder that none of us ever need to be alone. Sometimes a simple “hello” is all it takes. No need to book — just stop by, take a seat and have a chat. Everyone welcome.

We were honoured to welcome the Baton of Hope su***de prevention tour yesterday as it arrived at Festival Place. The Baton of Hope is one of the UK’s largest su***de prevention initiatives, dedicated to sparking conversation, raising awareness, and bringing hope to those affected or tempted by su***de.
A highlight of the day was the deeply moving performance by the Makaton choir. Their heartfelt rendition of “Call Me” touched everyone present — there were very few dry eyes among the crowd of supporters.
It was a powerful reminder of the importance of coming together as a community to show support, raise awareness, and spread hope. 💛 Do you recognise anyone in the crowd?
Never leave it too late to ask for help!
