Spreading Some Christmas Cheer!

When one of our Rotarians heard that ‘some’ cut flowers needed to find a new home or they would be binned we put out a call of action to our members. Who would appreciate a little bit of the outside inside at this time of year? Residents of care homes.

Within a few hours of us hearing about the flowers, we had found 7 care homes that were really appreciative of the sunshine that these flowers gave the residents. We picked up 140 bunches of flowers and found them very nice homes.

The homes that received flowers were:

• Ashurst Mews Care Home, Moulton

• Brampton View Residential Home, Northampton

• Ridgeway House Care Home, Towcester

• Moorefields Care Home, Towcester

• Malt House Court Care Home, Towcester

• Baycroft Residental Home, Kempston

• St John’s Care Home, Northampton

Each home gratefully received 20 bunches of flowers.

Rotary service doesn’t have to take months of planning. Sometimes a few hours out of your day and a few phone calls can make a big impact in other people’s lives.
