Littlehampton care home invites community to help spread festive cheer

A care home team in Littlehampton is gearing up to spread some festive cheer this Christmas.

Residents and team members at Care UK’s Darlington Court, on The Leas off Station Road, are inviting local people to join in with this year’s Doorstep Carols – Britain’s biggest ever carolling sing-along – on Wednesday 15^th December at 6pm. 

 

Following on from last year’s success, which saw more than 125,000 people take part, Doorstep Carols aims to inspire the nation to take to their front doors and sing along to well-known carols and Christmas songs in unison. Streets taking part are also encouraged to use the opportunity to raise money for a charity of their choice. This year, Care UK is an official supporter of the initiative, with residents in most of its 126 homes taking part in various ways.

Having practiced their songs and learnt their lyrics, Darlington Court is calling for those in the area to also head to their front doors and take part in the festive activity, in unison, at 6pm. 

Nikki Burke, Home Manager at Darlington Court, said: “We’re delighted to be taking part in Doorstep Carols this December here at Darlington Court.

“Music and singing never fails to bring people together, and the event promises to put smiles on faces and warm the hearts of many with its festive spirit.

“Although current circumstances mean we are unable to welcome members of the community into Darlington Court, we wanted to continue to connect with local people for the festive season and what better way than by enjoying some good old-fashioned carolling!”

Darlington Court has been designed to deliver the very best standards of care and to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives. The home provides full-time residential, nursing and dementia care, as well as short-term respite and palliative care.
