Country Court care homes took part in Cake4Kindness Day, on 21st November. Cake4Kindness is a registered not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) with a vision to alleviate loneliness and social isolation for those experiencing homelessness through the distribution of cakes.
On Cake4Kindness day Country Court chefs baked cupcakes, which were decorated by residents at Castor Lodge Care Home in Peterborough and Carpenders Park Care Home near Watford. The finished cakes were then delivered to Peterborough Soup Kitchen and Watford Foodbank.
"Building relationships with our local community is crucial to us here at Carpenders Park Care Home," said Home Manager Julie Wicks. "Social isolation and loneliness are issues common to both the elderly and those experiencing homelessness, so this initiative resonated with us. We are excited to help build a kinder and more supportive community in Carpenders Park".
The teams at the care homes hope to make this an ongoing initiative with regular donations in future.
“Our residents at Castor Lodge Care Home thoroughly enjoyed decorating all the cupcakes,” said Senior Customer Relations Manager Hannah Mills. “Knowing that the cakes were being donated to such a good cause made this a more meaningful activity for people to engage with, everyone was keen to get involved and hoped the cakes would brighten someone’s day”.
