Is it too early for a Christmas post? 🎄😂

Ian’s wasted no time getting into the festive spirit, he’s already been out scouting Christmas trees and found his favourite one! You’ve got to admire the man’s commitment to Christmas cheer even if the rest of us are still trying to remember where we packed away last year’s decorations!

There’s just something about seeing the lights, the colours, and that bit of sparkle that makes everything feel a little brighter, isn’t there? ✨

We might still be weeks away, but Ian says it’s never too early to start celebrating and honestly, looking at that grin, we think he might be right.

Who else is secretly (or not-so-secretly) ready to bring out the tree and turn the tunes up to Mariah Carey levels? 🎅🎶

A steady hand. A patient heart.

These stunning cross-stitch portraits were created by one of the wonderful people we support, every stitch telling a story of time, care, and creativity.

Crafting can be such a powerful way to stay calm, focused, and connected to the things that make us us. Whether it’s cross stitch, painting, gardening, or baking, we love seeing the passions that continue to thrive at home.

💬 What hobby helps you switch off and unwind?

We’d love to hear and maybe even feature some of your creations in a future post!

Today we’re at our local Morrisons in Leigh spreading awareness about the Don’t Miss the Moment campaign, helping our community learn to recognise the early signs of dementia so that support, care, and effective measures can be put in place as early as possible.

A huge thank you to Danielle, the Community Champion here at Morrisons, for her continued support and for displaying our campaign materials in store. 🙌

Together we can make a real difference. By spotting the signs early we can help preserve precious memories and improve quality of life.

📍 Pop in to Morrisons Leigh to find out more, pick up a leaflet, or chat with us about how you can get involved.

Early signs can include:
• Struggling to find words
• Memory loss that disrupts daily life
• Difficulty completing familiar tasks

Spotting the signs early means better support, better planning, and a better quality of life. 💜
