Home Instead Charnwood Wins Best Community Engagement Award

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Home Instead Charnwood has won the Best Community Engagement Award at the prestigious Retirement Living Awards! This award is a recognition of the dedication and effort we pour into our local community to not only provide quality care but to foster connection, support, and inclusivity across Charnwood.

Our Commitment to the Community

At Home Instead Charnwood, community is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that being part of the community means more than just offering care services; it means actively engaging with the people and places around us, creating an environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and connected.

We’re out and about every week—whether it’s attending local events, social groups, or healthcare talks. From local fairs and charity fundraisers to partnerships with local businesses and hosting our own community events, our mission is to ensure that care isn’t something daunting, but something welcoming, accessible, and personalised.

Hosting and Participating in Community Events

In addition to participating in local events, we’re proud to host a number of community-focused gatherings ourselves. For example:

  • We’ve partnered with churches to provide support and festive cheer with Christmas trees and “Santa for a Senior” campaigns.
  • Our Care Professional Coffee Catch Ups bring care professionals together to foster peer support and recognition.
  • Seasonal and awareness events, talks, information open days and even afternoon tea parties.
  • We’re regularly present at recruitment fairs and networking events, creating opportunities for individuals to learn more about care careers with Home Instead.

By being involved in so many diverse community events, we strive to make the conversation around care less intimidating and more welcoming, giving individuals and families the opportunity to see the value of home care in maintaining independence and quality of life.

A Shared Vision for Care

Our vision is simple: to enhance the lives of ageing adults and their families. By engaging with the community in meaningful ways, we ensure that individuals can choose the care that’s best for them. We work hand-in-hand with local businesses, healthcare providers, and social organisations to build strong connections that benefit the people we serve.

We are incredibly proud of our team for their tireless efforts and the relationships we’ve built with people across the community. This award is a testament to everyone’s hard work and passion for making Charnwood a better place to live and age well.
