🎅 Be A Santa Southampton 2025 – Share Some Christmas Cheer with Older People in Our Community
At Caremark Southampton, we’ve always believed that small acts of kindness have the power to transform someone’s day. This Christmas, our Be A Santa Southampton 2025 campaign returns to bring warmth, connection and festive cheer to older adults in our community who may otherwise be spending the holiday alone or without receiving a gift.
Many older people across Southampton will experience Christmas in isolation, away from family or without much social contact. Through Be A Santa Southampton, our team, clients, Care Assistants, partners and kind-hearted neighbours come together to make sure no one is forgotten.
What Is Be A Santa Southampton 2025?
Be A Santa Southampton 2025 is our annual gift-giving initiative supporting older adults across Southampton and the surrounding areas we serve, including Bassett, Sholing, Bitterne and Shirley.
Every donated present offers more than a practical item – it’s a message of care, dignity and human connection at a time when it matters most.
