Be A Santa
Home Instead Renfrewshire and Barrhead will be collecting gifts as part of our Be a Santa to a Senior project again this year.
These thoughtful presents will be wrapped by the team at Home Instead Renfrewshire & Barrhead, and donated to St. Mirren FC Charitable foundation who will then hand the gifts out on Christmas day along with a warm Christmas dinner.
At Home Instead, we understand that the Christmas period can be a challenging time for many older people, especially those who may be alone. Through ‘Be a Santa’ we hope to bring comfort and joy to their lives, reminding them that they are cherished members of our community.
Want to get involved? There are several different ways you can help:
- Be a Collection Point – Are you a local group or business with room for a collection box? Contact us on 01412808210 for more information
- Donate in person – at one of our collection points, or at our Mirren Court office in Paisley
- Donate online via our amazon wishlist – https://amzn.eu/bSh30x6
- Share on Social Media – let others know about the collection and where they can donate
What can you give?
We have a handy guide to help you choose the perfect gift:
- Something practical – a cosy scarf or a nice warm hot water bottle, something useful for the winter months.
- Something to do – a puzzle book, jigsaw or activity gift
- Something to look forward to – an experience gift – an afternoon tea voucher or a cinema ticket for those movie lovers.
- Something for the holidays – something festive to bring a bit of Christmas cheer.
- Something sentimental – a gift that will mean something and bring and smile, perhaps a frame for a much loved photo.
- Something for a treat – sweets and biscuits are always a hit.
Whatever you choose, you can be assured that your gift will bring joy to an older person in Renfrewshire this Christmas.
