Spreading Christmas Cheer!

Our residents told us they wanted to help spread some Christmas cheer this festive season so we got straight to work in making our own gift pouches including a heartfelt poem, candy canes, Santa chocolate coins & more to gift to our local community. 🎅
Residents found it a bit chilly on the day so sent our trusty HSA Jo out into our local town centre to spread some festive cheer on their behalf. Safe to say it went down a storm! 🥰
