Whether you love yours with lemon and sugar, chocolate spread, or something a little more adventurous… Pancake Day is the perfect excuse to enjoy a little treat and a lot of smiles.

At Home Instead, we know it’s the little moments that mean the most — sharing a laugh in the kitchen, reminiscing about favourite recipes, or simply enjoying something sweet together. 💚

Why not celebrate today by making pancakes with a loved one? It’s a lovely way to spark conversation, create memories and enjoy some simple joy.

Tell us… how do you like your pancakes? 🍓🍫🍋

We were honoured to join colleagues from across the network at the Home Instead 20th Anniversary Celebration at the Grosvenor House Hotel — a night of recognition, reflection and pride complete with amazing performances from the cast of The Lion King, Joel Dommett and Jason Donovan. We also had some amazing words from our very own Managing Director Ruth Brown.



For two decades, Home Instead has been committed to delivering compassionate, relationship-led care that helps people live well and independently in their own homes. As we look back
on this milestone, we’re incredibly proud of the impact our Care Professionals, Key Players and entire team have made in our community.



This celebration was a powerful reminder that our success is made possible by the people who deliver meaningful care every single day. Here’s to the next 20 years of expanding the
capacity to care and deepening our community impact together!
