Kindness shines every day in the work our carers do — and Sandra, from our Lutterworth branch, is a wonderful example of that.​

Recently recognised with a Moments of Kindness award, Sandra’s compassion and dedication have touched the hearts of both customers and colleagues alike. 💜​

Known for her gentle approach and thoughtful gestures — from hand-knitting a Christmas hat for a customer she supported, to offering quiet reassurance through difficult times — Sandra truly goes above and beyond.​

Her care reminds us that kindness isn’t just part of the job; it’s who she is. Thank you, Sandra, for bringing warmth, comfort, and compassion to everything you do. 💜​

Every act of kindness can help change a life — especially the lives of those who need a little extra support. ​

As a live-in carer, you do so much more than help with everyday tasks — you make a difference that lasts far beyond the moment. You might be the reason someone feels safe making a cup of tea again, confident enough to take a walk in their garden, or comforted by a friendly face at the end of the day. You help people stay in the homes where their memories live — surrounded by family photos, familiar smells, and the routines that make them feel like themselves again.​

It’s the small things — sharing a laugh over breakfast, listening to a favourite story, or helping someone video-call their grandchildren — that bring dignity, joy, and connection back into their lives.​

If you have a heart for helping others and want to make a real difference, join us this November and bring kindness into every home.​

Today marks International Kindness Day. For this Swadlincote Branch have put together little parcels for every one of our carers and customers to be handed out today, including a teabag and a packet of biscuits to have with a loved one or caregiver. It also includes a "Tag you're It" card to pass on an act of kindness!
Remember to do that good deed, or even smile and compliment a stranger. It all goes a long way

On this Remembrance Day, we pause to honor the courage and sacrifice of those who served. Their bravery will forever echo in our hearts. Lest we forget.

🌍💛 Happy World Kindness Day! 💛🌍​

Today, we celebrate the simple but powerful acts of kindness that make a difference in people’s lives every single day. ​

At Helping Hands, kindness isn’t just something we do — it’s who we are 💜​

From our carers bringing comfort and companionship to those they support to the families and communities showing love and care, kindness creates connection, hope, and healing.​

Let’s all take a moment to spread a little extra kindness — whether it’s a smile, a helping hand, or a kind word. Kindness has the power to change the world, one heart at a time.​

Chris faced a tough road with significant challenges in mobility and independence; he wasn’t sure if he’d ever walk again. ​

Before Christmas, he was relying on a double-up care package from our Wokingham branch just to feel safe and comfortable at home. With the unwavering dedication of our carers and a personalised care plan, Chris has made remarkable progress. 🌟​

Today, he’s back in his computer chair, a milestone that means so much to him as it symbolises not just physical recovery, but renewed independence and confidence.​

Our carers didn’t just provide physical support; they built trust, offered companionship, and created a sense of comfort that helped Chris stay motivated every step of the way. From carefully listening to his goals to ensuring continuity with familiar faces, their kindness made all the difference. 💜​

Chris’s story is a powerful reminder of what compassionate, person-centred care can achieve, helping people regain control of their lives and feel truly supported at home.​

Thank you to Chris for trusting us and to our amazing carers for going above and beyond. ​
