✨ Daviot 2025: A Year in Moments ✨

From January’s first hopeful steps into a new year to December’s gentle closing notes, 2025 has been a year filled with connection, kindness, and countless moments that reminded us what makes Daviot so special 💛

Each month brought its own treasured memories, shared laughter, meaningful conversations, new experiences, and the everyday moments that quietly became the heart of our year.

What made 2025 truly meaningful wasn’t just the activities, but the people. Our wonderful residents, whose warmth, stories, and spirit brighten every day. And our dedicated colleagues, whose compassion and commitment create a place where everyone feels valued, supported, and truly at home.

We couldn’t be more grateful to walk this journey with such incredible individuals. Their presence is what turns Daviot from a building into a genuine community.

As we look back, we feel proud, thankful, and deeply moved by everything we’ve shared together. And as we step into 2026, we carry with us the joy, the memories, and the hope that the year ahead will bring even more moments worth cherishing ✨

Here’s to our residents, our colleagues, and the beautiful year we’ve shared at Daviot.

🎄 𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 🦌

This December, colleagues, residents, families and friends from across all 27 Meallmore care homes came together to do something truly special.

Through our Meallmore Reindeer Run, we collectively:
✔ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝟰,𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀
✔ 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 £𝟮,𝟮𝟲𝟬 𝗳𝗼𝗿 Cash for Kids – 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀
✔ 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟱𝟬 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 to support children and families across our local communities

From walking, wheeling, cycling and adapting activities, to festive costumes, creativity and teamwork, this was a challenge that everyone could be part of — and that’s what made it so powerful.

More than a fundraiser, the Reindeer Run was about:
💚 Inclusion and connection
💚 Bringing people together
💚 Supporting families beyond our homes
💚 Showing what’s possible when communities work as one

A huge thank you to every resident, colleague, family member and supporter who took part, donated, cheered us on or helped make this happen. This is what makes Meallmore such a special community - and why we’re so proud of the people who live and work in our homes.

🎄 Melvin the Meallmore Elf has officially landed at Daviot… and let’s just say Elf & Safety has LEFT the building!

Today’s highlights included:
🧯 A very serious “Elf & Safety Meeting” 🤦‍♀️
🍪 The total destruction of our gingerbread village - no regrets were shown
🎱 A highly suspicious game of pool (we’re fairly sure he cheated)
🎤 Crashing karaoke and insisting on singing every verse
🎬 Breaking into the cinema, stealing the popcorn and choosing the movie
🚐 Then - because why not - he stole a vehicle and headed for his next adventure…

Daviot survived Day 4 of the Meallmore Reindeer Run mascot madness.

Where will Melvin pop up next?
Stay tuned… but maybe hide your snacks. 🦌😂

🎁 Toy donations welcomed at all Meallmore homes across Scotland!
