We are fast approaching our cut off date for handing over our children's appeal items.

If you can please donate baby/child hygiene products for our care packages for families. ( Nappies, wipes, soap, shampoo ect) 🍼 🧼 🫧

You can also take a tag and gift a child a present this Christmas if you can fit it into your budget.

Help us make sure local children don't go without this winter and Christmas. ❄️ ☃️

Many families are struggling for the essentials and our local health visitors have identified families most in need of our help. 🥰

We aim with your help to gift 60 kids a gift and each family a care package of hygiene essentials. ❤️

As we lead up to St Francis's Feast day on the 4th of October, its important we reflect on what we stand for and how we practice our Franciscan Values.

📢Do you know what our Philosophy here is at St Francis care home? ⁉️

We welcome you with joy, 😃

We care for you with love, ❤️

We part from you with peace. 🕊️

The Franciscan Sisters Minoress, to whom the church has entrusted the Apostolic Mission of Hospitality to the aged, poor, welcome the elderly of all nationalities and beliefs. 😃❤️🕊️

We uphold....

In conformity with Christian values and the teaching of the catholic church, the sacredness of human life in all its stages. 🐣👶👨‍🍼👵

We believe....

In fidelity to the charismatic inspirations of St Franics, elderly persons are as important part of society as any other individual.
That disabilities resulting from age are accepted all the more readily when those who surround the elderly take care of them with esteem and affection. Trying to compensate for these disabilities making them easier to bear, even combating them and hating their progression.
In the total care of the resident, who, living in a family atmosphere, will be thus enabled to fulfil his/her physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs whatever his/her race, colour or creed. 🧑‍🦽🫂

We have at heart....

To respond to the desires and aspirations of the residents.
Recognition of their dignity, desire of being respected, esteemed and loved and the longing to feel themselves useful.
Apprehension of solitude, together with the wish for certain independence and privacy
Need for security, in health as in sickness, until death. ❤️🕊️

" God, who has fatherly concern for everyone, willed that all people should constitute one family and treat one another in a spirit of brotherhood"

This year St Francis are starting up our 2nd year at our children's appeal. 🎉❤️

We are working along side the Govan Health centre, yellow practice health visitors and are aiming to collect gifts for Children in the local area of Govan. 🧸🩺🌟

This is to help ensure a child doesn't go without this Christmas as these families have been identified as most at need. 🎁🎅🎄

We will have 60 tags going on our children appeal tree and we would love if you could pick one up! 🎁🎅🎄❤️

We are also looking for donations for baby/child and family essentials such as nappies, wipes, shampoo, shower gel, sponges ect.. to allow us to make up care packages for families who need a little extra help.

Your kindness allowed us in 2024 to exceed what we set out to do and reach more families, we where also kindly donated money which helped us fund an easter party too for local kids.

Any help no matter how little, it all goes along away & collectively we can create something beautiful :) 😍

Have you met our new addition to the care home? ⁉️

Please welcome our Velo Box!! ❗🎉🎉

Thank you to Cycle Scotland for their funding and John for his advice & the amazing team at Grease Monkey Cycles for suppling and installing our velo box. 🎉🚲

Cycling offers numerous health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health❤️, enhanced mental well-being, improves joint and muscle strength and lower risk of chronic diseases. 🎉

We set out to try support the growing number of cyclists who visit the home, both staff and visitors. ❤️
We hope to encourage potential cyclists to join in now that we have safe and secure storage. The lack of facilities to store bikes has negatively impacted people brining their bikes to work 🚲🎉

Along with the velo box (which stores 6 bikes) for staff working long shifts to have safe and secure storage. We will also have two hoops installed soon for passing visitors. (which holds 4 bikes) 🚲🎉

If you use the box we would love to see!
Take a picture, post and tag us!
