Local home care company, Home Instead is excited to once again be launching their Christmas gift-giving campaign, ‘Be a Santa to a Senior’ for the fifth year running.

The campaign asks the local community to donate gifts to distribute to isolated older people across West Lothian at Christmas.

Home Instead, which opened in October 2020, provides care to elderly and vulnerable people in the comfort of their own homes. The company has again teamed up with various charities and groups in the local area to help identify older people who may not otherwise receive a present over the festive season.

They are now asking for help from members of the public to help donate gifts that will then be wrapped and delivered to these vulnerable individuals in time for Christmas.

There are various collection points throughout West Lothian where people can donate their gifts and also an Amazon Wish-List, where people can choose and order gifts to send directly to the Home Instead office.

Graham Stevenson, Owner of Home Instead, commented: “Although we provide companionship and care to our clients, keeping them safe and well as well as preventing instances of isolation and loneliness, we know not all older people are so lucky.

“Winter this year will be challenging for many older people, and we want to remind them that their local community is thinking of them by gifting small presents- bringing some festive cheer!”
