Helping Hands Community Care, St Matthews House, Haugh Lane, Hexham (2025)

Helping Hands Community Care has been at the forefront of home care provision since 1988 and has been able to adapt to the many changes within the values and vision of health and social care. We have taken and grasped the challenge of this multifaceted and dynamic process whilst maintaining quality services that focus on the basic principles of treating people as individuals and with dignity and respect. Helping Hands Community Care has gained a good reputation with a wide range of domiciliary care services and made great strides in identifying future needs of the community and welcome varying types of consultation and involvement to see what actually works ensuring success in all areas of our service provision. We feel this commitment and the friendly yet professional service provided is an essential component of our continuing success.

🌺 We will remember them.

Today we pause to reflect and pay our respects to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

At Helping Hands, supporting people to live with dignity and care is at the heart of what we do - and we recognise that the peace we enjoy today was made possible by their courage and selflessness.

On this Remembrance Day, we honour their legacy, remember their bravery and pledge to carry forward their spirit of compassion and service.

🌺 Lest we forget.

A big well done to Dani and Paige! 💜

Many of you may know that the Cancer Research UK Shine Night Walk, originally scheduled for Saturday 4 October, was cancelled at the last minute. Care Support Officers Dani Wilson and Paige Gallagher had been due to take part and were understandably disappointed, especially knowing that so many generous sponsors had supported them.

Determined not to let anyone down, they decided to complete the 10k walk around the Hexham area a couple of days later - keeping their promise to all sponsors who wanted their donations to still go towards such an important cause.

Not only did they complete the full distance but they’ve also confirmed they’ll be taking part in the official Shine Walk once it’s rescheduled.

👏 Huge congratulations to Dani and Paige, who have raised over £900 for Cancer Research UK - a brilliant effort for a brilliant cause!

Remembering Linda ❤️

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our colleague, Linda, who worked as a Homecare Support Worker with Helping Hands in our East branch.

Linda, 61, was a valued member of our team for more than 12 years. She was much loved by everyone, staff and service users alike, and will be remembered for her caring nature, loyalty, dedication and wonderful sense of humour.

The whole team at Helping Hands is devastated by this loss. It has truly been an honour to have known Linda and to have had her as part of our East branch family. She will be greatly missed for many years to come.

Linda’s funeral will take place on Tuesday 30 September at Cowpen Crematorium, Blyth. Linda will arrive at 10.45am.

Anyone who would like to pay their respects is warmly welcome to attend.

Our thoughts are with Linda’s family and loved ones at this difficult time 💙

If you are finding this news understandably difficult, please remember you don’t have to go through it alone - please reach out and speak with someone you trust, whether at home or at work.
