The Granby Care Home in Harrogate

Thank you to our local community from all of us at brighterkind

On Friday 26th June, we were all set to celebrate our annual Care Home Open Day. However, due to its postponement this year we wanted to say a huge thank you instead to our local communities for all the support they have given over the last few months by gifting wildflower seeds. They are available for everyone in their local community as a symbol of appreciation and hope for the future.

The brighterkind Magic Moments teams in our homes are preparing wildflower seeds with their residents for you to pick up outside their reception, on or around 26th June to plant and enjoy. It is extremely important now more than ever to keep our residents’ spirits high and continue to feel part of their community. Sharing the joy of colourful wildflowers we hope helps to do just that.

We are all looking forward to seeing family, friends and our local communities who have supported us so wonderfully again soon.

Please contact your local brighterkind Care Home to find out more featured care homes https://ecs.page.link/KhCao

Ps. If you would like to send us your photos of you with your Wildflower pots, please send them in to celebrations@brighterkind.com or post them to twitter using the hashtag
