This festive season, we took a step into Christmases past with a nationwide campaign to revive traditions from decades gone by.
From caroling to paper chains to nostalgic recipes, we immersed residents, families and the community in the 1950s festive spirit. We ensured historical customs aren’t forgotten through our ‘Step into Christmas’ programme by bringing generations together.
With countless yuletide memories from childhood, residents and team members turned back the clock and celebrated these moments through a series of special events.
Across Care UK homes, residents banded together with local groups to host nostalgic, 1950s-themed parties. From baking classic Christmas treats, crafting ornaments or singing songs from decades past, every activity was designed to honour the traditions from residents’ youths.
For the younger generations, this is a unique chance to discover how Christmas used to be revelled in, learning directly from those who lived it.
