🌿☕ A Little Extra Care Makes a Big Difference ☀️🌸

Meet Pam — one of our lovely service users who adores sitting out on her patio with a good cuppa. But over time, her patio had become a little overgrown and less inviting.

That’s when our wonderful care worker Vicky stepped in.

Without being asked, Vicky went out of her way to tidy and spruce up the patio, making it a safe and comfortable space once again. Now Pam is back in her favourite spot, soaking up the fresh air and sunshine, tea in hand, exactly where she loves to be.

It’s these small acts of kindness and attention that truly define what care means to us. 💚

Thank you, Vicky, for going above and beyond and for helping make Pam’s days that little bit brighter.

🎶 We Had a Blast at the Xchurch Music Festival! 🎶

A1 Care was proud to sponsor this year’s Xchurch Music Festival – a fantastic community celebration filled with music, energy, and connection!

From local talent to big performances, it was incredible to see everyone come together to enjoy such a vibrant event. Supporting community spirit and well-being is at the heart of what we do, and this festival truly captured that.

✨ Thank you to all the organisers, volunteers, and festival-goers who made it such a memorable weekend!

🌸 A Huge Thank You from All of Us 🌸

We’re delighted to share that our “Dementia Time for a Cuppa” event at our Poundbury office in Dorchester was a heartwarming success! With your incredible support, we raised £185.00 — every penny of which will go towards supporting those living with dementia and helping to fund vital resources and services.

We want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who made this event so special:

💜 Our amazing clients, who brought so much joy and warmth to the day.
💜 Our dedicated carers and staff, who gave their time, energy, and passion to make everything run smoothly.
💜 The wonderful families who showed up and supported in every way possible.
💜 And the members of our local community, whose generosity and kindness truly touched us.

From the delicious cakes and cheerful cuppas to the conversations and connections made — it was a beautiful reminder of how powerful community spirit can be. Together, we’re raising awareness, showing support, and making a difference for those affected by dementia.

Thank you again for being part of something so meaningful. 💫
