🎁🌟 Happy Give Something Away Day ! 🌟🎁

Today is all about the power of giving! Whether it’s a smile, a kind gesture, or a helping hand, small acts of kindness make a world of difference. 💙 At Visiting Angels North Derbyshire, we believe that caring is about more than just meeting physical needs—it’s about giving love, companionship, and making sure every person feels valued.

We’re proud to share that we currently have good availability of local carers living in your area, ready to meet the care needs of you or your loved ones. From personal care, cleaning, and companionship to much more, we’re here to provide support where it’s needed most. Call us on 01246 900 023 or email northderbyshire@visiting-angels.co.uk🌟

What sets us apart is our commitment to the whole person. Unlike other care providers, we offer FREE monthly wellbeing sessions and Tea Parties for every client assessed as at risk of loneliness and isolation. These include gentle seat-based exercises, hand massages, virtual reality travel experiences, and much more—ensuring we nurture both body and spirit. We care about The Person Inside, and we’re dedicated to ensuring their wellbeing. 💫

So, on this special day, let’s give something meaningful—whether it’s your time, a kind word, or a moment of care. What will you give today? 💙

This is why we call them Angels. 💙💚

🌟Shoutout to Angela Walton! 🌟

We want to take a moment to recognise the amazing actions of one of our incredible carers, Angela Walton. 💙

While on her way to visit another client at 7am, Angela spotted a familiar face at a bus stop. Realising something wasn’t quite right, she quickly contacted the on-call team and went to pick up the client, ensuring she was brought safely home.

The client, who has dementia, had left the house without her husband, who also has dementia, realising she was gone. Thanks to Angela’s attentiveness and quick thinking, what could have been a very worrying situation was turned around safely.

The family was deeply grateful, and so are we. It’s moments like these that remind us how lucky we are to have such dedicated, compassionate carers on our team who go above and beyond every single day. 💙👏

Thank you, Angela — you truly made a difference. 🙌

To say thank you for the great work they do, we presented a hamper to the wonderful team at Langley House. 😊

We love working with them! 💙

Tomorrow is the day!

We are honoured to have a stall at this wonderful event! 😊

We look forward to connecting with other healthcare professionals and the community. 💙

We Did It!!!
Visiting Angels is officially the Dementia Care Employer (Community) winner at the Dementia Care Awards 2025.
This recognition is more than an award, it's a celebration of every care worker who puts heart, skill, and dedication into supporting those living with dementia.

The judges shared:
“Visiting Angels demonstrated a genuine passion for delivering a holistic service that thoughtfully considered the needs of the people supported, their families, and the care staff. They consistently placed care staff at the top of the hierarchy, firmly believing they were the cornerstone of the work. It was lovely to hear what Visiting Angels are doing.”

Dementia care takes compassion, creativity, and connection. We are proud to lead with all three. This win is for every Angel making a difference!💜

With temperatures soaring between 25°C and 33°C across the UK this week, it’s a timely reminder that summer heat can pose serious risks to older adults.

What a great way to end the week! 🥳

🎉 We’re Finalists! 🎉

We’re absolutely thrilled to be shortlisted for the UK Company Culture Awards 2025 in three categories:

🏆 Most Innovative Culture
🏆 Leadership
🏆 Best Company to Work For

This recognition is a testament to the incredible hard work across our network and, most importantly, to our amazing carers who make a difference every single day! 💙

At the heart of everything we do is our carer-centric approach—because we believe caregivers deserve better pay, stronger support, and real recognition for their dedication. And the results speak for themselves:

✅ 30% of our 1,300+ carers now come from staff referrals
✅ Absences due to mental health have dropped from 16% to just 3.3%

By prioritising retention over constant recruitment, we ensure unrushed, consistent, high-quality care—delivered by passionate, supported caregivers.

A huge thank you to our team and carers for making this possible! 🙌💙
