Always Take Care

Our delivery of donated colostomy bags that we have just shipped over to Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

We send a shipment approximately every three months. These supplies go to a local hospice (shout out to Island Hospice & Healthcare!) who distribute the bags to patients in need.

In the UK, colostomy bags are provided by the NHS - something many of us may take for granted. But in countries like Zimbabwe, these essential supplies are often scarce, very expensive, and unaffordable for most people. Which is heartbreaking 💔

Without access to colostomy bags, many are left housebound and unable to live their lives with comfort or dignity. That’s why every donation and shipment we send makes such a huge difference.

Thank you to everyone who helps make this possible. If you'd like to know more about Island Hospice, please give them a follow 🙏

What Does 24-Hour Live-In Care Really Mean? 🤗

It means your loved one can stay right where they feel happy and comfortable - at home - with a professional carer who lives with them and provides support day and night. 💙

Live-in care isn’t just about help with meals, medication, or daily routines. It’s about companionship and peace of mind, knowing someone is always there when needed.

The benefits are enormous. Families can relax, knowing their loved one is safe and cared for. And loved ones get to stay at home, maintain their independence and continue living life their way. 🏡✨

Have you heard the story behind 'Always Take Care'?

ATC is here because of Bridget's mum, Heather Gebbie. Heather sadly passed away in March 2025, and we miss her every day. But her indomitable spirit continues to guide all of us here at ATC.

Heather laid the foundations for our work, and we follow in her footsteps, doing our best to make a difference by delivering care with dignity, respect, and unwavering compassion. We honour her legacy – not just in the name, but in the way we care.
