Please see the road closure notice for next week. There is some confusion as this post is saying Wednesday 5th November only but the sign next to the bridge states Monday 3rd - Wednesday 5th November.

Access to the home will be via Stamford Road only.

This week two members of our team visited Kettering Foodbank to drop off donations made by our staff and to volunteer their time in the warehouse - supporting those in our community who need it most.

This week we’d like to shine a spotlight on some of our local businesses.
Tara and Christina from Countryview Nursing Home bought in donations from their Harvest Appeal. Whilst here they lent a hand getting donations from the door to the shelf, and by being ‘frontline’ hopefully gained a little insight into how we work and what we do.
We were also invited to visit Claremont Parkway Care Home - Barchester Healthcare and collect donations from their Autumn Table
Busy Bees Childcare had a full donation box for us to collect following their Harvest festival, Marcel from Kettering Golf Club bought (more!) cash from his bar collection pot.
KLM Taxis continue to provide free taxi service when we need them, Royal Bengal provide 2 bags of potatoes every week, we went to Pets at Home Kettering to spend part of the monetary voucher they’d raised recently, The Queens Arms Orlingbury held their regular quiz night for us and Broughton Primary School held another very successful Harvest Festival !
💖 More Than Just Donations
The partnership with our local schools, churches and businesses goes far beyond just providing food. Their efforts make a difference in powerful ways:
• Raising Awareness: By displaying our collection points, fundraising and sharing our stories, they help us reach so many people who might not otherwise know about the foodbank. This is crucial for keeping our shelves stocked!
• Insight into Our Work: By actively participating, their staff, clients or customers gain a real insight into the challenges local families face and what we do to help.
Certainly not forgetting Kettering Allotments, Norissa, Jane, David, Martin, Frances, Jill, Ian, Anna, Rod, Louisa and her Redrowers, Kettering Hospital Shop, THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD, St. Edward Catholic Church and Norrie, Kettering Central Methodist Church, St Andrew's Church, Kettering and Don

THANK YOU ALL😊

Your involvement with our Foodbank is absolutely vital, and we are so grateful for all the support we receive.
Together, we can ensure no one in our community goes hungry 💚

🍂 Autumn Fun at Our Nursing Home! 🍁

Today’s activity was all about seasonal creativity and togetherness! Thanks to the kind donation from our local Tesco store Tesco kettering Community And Events, our residents enjoyed a wonderful autumn craft session filled with pumpkins, flowers, and plenty of smiles.

We transformed pumpkins into beautiful vases, arranging colourful blooms for stunning fall displays. Others got crafty with decoupage, designing their own Halloween-themed pumpkins — each one as unique as its creator!

The room was full of laughter, chatter, and creativity — a perfect way to celebrate the beauty of the season. 💐🎃

Our residents discovered that anything can be a paintbrush! From broccoli and herbs to straws and cling film, they created beautiful autumn-inspired artwork. 🍁✨

The activity sparked lovely conversations about gardens, nature walks, and cherished memories — a simple reminder that creativity blooms everywhere! 🌿💛

If anyone has any spare wool they’d kindly like to donate, we’d be so grateful. Every little bit helps make our activities extra special. 💛

Thank you so much for your support!
