dIt’s undoubtedly been a difficult year for everybody during the Covi-19 pandemic, particularly for care homes. As Christmas draws near, what would typically be an occasion full of celebrations and family gatherings has been dimmed by lockdowns and safety concerns.

Millennium Care Group is looking for support from the community to turn the outside of all 7 care homes across Wigan, Ramsbottom and Bury into their own winter wonderland with Christmas trees, lights and decorations to brighten up the homes and the spirits of residents

The homes plan to host special Christmas Light Switch On events that can be celebrated by home residents and staff, shared live over social media for families to be involved, and also host special light drive throughs for the resident’s family members

But it won’t be an easy feat and these care homes are asking for support from their local communities to donate and help in any way possible. Even a small gesture will go a long way to make a big impact for these care homes.
