Carley Calder, Home Manager from Glenvale Park Care Home, said: “We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the generous donation of treats. We are incredibly grateful for your support and for thinking of us in such a meaningful way.”

The care package was comprised of essentials such as shower gels, bars of soap, a box of chocolates, biscuits, and a large pack of greetings cards for residents to use for keeping in touch with family and friends.

The donation also included jigsaw puzzles and a magnetic board game set for light-hearted recreation when needed, recognising the importance of social engagement with care settings.

We hope this donation will provide some entertainment and use for the staff and residents at Glenvale Park Care Home.”
