It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...

Over the last few weeks people and organisations have been thinking of creative ways to bring the community Christmas spirit to Care Homes when they can't visit in person. From nativities to online Christmas services, music concerts and parties, below we link you to all the resources we have been told about. If you know of more please tell us! We'll be updating this page regularly over the coming days as there are other resources in the pipeline...

There's Room at the Inn - a Virtual Nativity video free for care homes, brought to you by Truth be Told, who run intergenerational activities in care homes. Video available from 14th December.

A Dementia Friendly Online Christmas Service from the Harborough Anglican Team

A Care Home Christmas Service from St Stephen's Church Twickenham care home team.

Not just for Christmas - Live music concerts streamed to care homes every Wednesday afternoon, performed  by some of the finest musicians in the country. Brought to you by Artists 'n Residents.
