Festive celebrations in Harwich

29 November 2018
A festive fayre will be held at Don Thomson on Saturday 1 December.

The team and residents at Don Thomson House Residential Care Home in Harwich are spreading Christmas cheer with their local community during December.

Christmas Fayre, 1 December

Decking the halls in festive spirit, the Low Road home are throwing open the doors to host their annual Christmas Fayre on Saturday 1 December, between 10am and midday.

There will be fun for all the family, including a range of stalls to enjoy, as well as carol singing from Harwich Sing Choir, Santa’s Grotto and scrumptious seasonal refreshments.

Entry is just 50p per adult and free for children. To meet Santa in his grotto there will be an additional cost of £1.50 per child, where they will receive a small gift.

Boxing Day Tea

Meanwhile on Boxing Day, residents and the team want to invite community members who may be spending the festive time alone to join them for Boxing Day Tea on Wednesday 26 December, 3pm – 6pm.

Meet new faces over some festive refreshments including mince pies, and enjoy games and activities with our friendly team and residents.

If you would like more information or to confirm your interest please feel free to call the home on 01255 240 978.

At Sanctuary Care our number one priority is to keep our residents, their relatives and our staff safe.

With the increasing number of reported cases of Coronavirus in the UK, we have taken the difficult decision to minimise all non-essential visits to our residential and nursing homes until further notice. These include routine visits from loved ones and friends, entertainers, hairdressers, volunteers, work experience students and school parties.

We have not taken this decision lightly and understand this will be upsetting for relatives who want to visit loved ones. We do feel this is the best way to keep our residents safe and is one of many proactive, preventative measures we are taking to stop this infection getting into our homes.

We do hope you understand why we are taking these precautions. Please don’t hesitate to call if you would like to speak to us directly if you have any questions or concerns.
