Care provider looks to spread joy through community calendar

Home Instead Altrincham Sale and Wythenshawe are recognising the impact of isolation and loneliness on older adults by handing out thousands of calendars to residents in the area.

The care provider felt that a gift lasting all year round would help bring smiles to people’s faces, especially with images showcasing local areas.

This year’s calendar also marks Home Instead's 15th year of delivering professional care and live-in care services to residents in Altrincham and Sale.

Over the last couple of weeks, Home Instead has distributed more than 5,000 calendars already to pharmacies, community groups, local hubs and charities.
