Luke becomes trustee at national charity
Tremendous support for Macmillan Cancer Last month we took part in the ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Many thanks to all of you who got involved by sending in pictures of your bakes. In total, we raised £80 for an amazing cause!
Owner of Home Instead York, Luke Norbury, has become a trustee with a national charity, The Home Instead Senior Care Bring Joy Foundation, which was founded to bring joy into the lives of older people across the UK. Luke joined the charity this month as a new trustee. Luke comments: “My aim at Home Instead is to enable older people to carry on living in their own homes, improving quality of life for them and their families.” The Bring Joy Foundation is the charitable arm of home care company, Home Instead Senior Care, whose mission is ‘To become the most admired care company through changing the face of ageing’. The charity itself is dedicated to supporting and enhancing the lives of older people across the UK. It does this by funding local community events that enhance and enrich the lives of older people with a focus on combating loneliness and preventing isolation, both of which are real issues amongst the elderly. Luke adds: “By becoming a trustee of the Bring Joy Foundation I hope to set a positive example of how the public and private sector can come together to put some fun and adventure back into the lives of older people and reduce the loneliness that many sadly experience.” The Bring Joy Foundation has supported trips to the seaside, provided funding to support regular tea parties and during lockdown has funded the purchase of tablet technology to allow older people to remain connected with family and friends.
