๐๐ฆ There are days that remind us exactly why community matters. This was one of them.
Our Leven Beach Care Home was absolutely buzzing during Reindeer Run week.
From the moment the doors opened, the home was filled with laughter, Christmas music, familiar faces and the kind of festive energy you canโt fake. Residents, families and colleagues all coming together, not just to celebrate the season, but to create memories that will last long after the decorations come down.
There were smiles everywhere - especially when Santa arrived. Raffles were drawn, prizes won, cakes sliced, sweets shared and conversations flowing over teas and coffees. Craft stalls, bottle bags, tombolaโฆ every corner of the home had something going on, and every part of it felt warm, welcoming and joyful.
And then there were the windows.
Thanks to Darren, a brilliant local tattoo artist, Leven Beach was transformed with a One-to-Wonderland festive window display that stopped people in their tracks and brought a little bit of magic to everyone passing by.
All of this came together during the homeโs annual Christmas Fair - and the result?
๐ ยฃ1,272 raised for Resident Funds during Reindeer Run week alone, culminating in their annual Christmas Fayre, with more still to come. Every penny goes directly into resident funds, to be used throughout the year for activities, days out and the moments that make life that bit brighter.
This wasnโt just a Christmas fair.
It was a reminder of what happens when a care home becomes a true part of its community.
Huge thanks to everyone who made it so special - residents, families, colleagues and local supporters. What a way to welcome the festive season ๐โจ
