Seven-year-old Ewan and his mum donated a big box of quality hand creams for the staff at Red Oaks Care Home on behalf of the team.

The attached letter said: “The team wanted to say a huge thank you for all the amazing work you always do at the care home, but particularly what you have been doing to support people during these challenging times. We understand that your hands are getting very dry and sore from using lots of hand sanitiser so we hope that these hand creams help.”

Linda Ryan, general manager at Red Oaks, said: “In these unprecedented times, it is very touching that community groups are thinking about the NHS and the social care sector and being so generous in support.”

The care home is playing its part in the wider care sector and supporting the NHS where possible.

Martin Knight, marketing administrator, said: “We are currently still taking admissions into our care home for those that need care in the next four weeks, so please do give us a call on 01273 493043 if you are looking for care or need any further help.”
