Some more photos from our Countdown to Christmas advent across our services 🎄✨

From singing Christmas carols at our local church, getting creative with festive arts and crafts, meeting Father Christmas 🎅, enjoying amazing Christmas meals out, sipping hot chocolate at the Christmas market, and sharing special gifts for all — it’s been a truly magical time.

We’ve absolutely loved counting down to Christmas and making so many lovely memories along the way ❤️

🎄✨ We’ve had such a busy and festive few days across our services….
From getting creative with DIY Christmas crackers to enjoying wonderful Christmas concerts, it’s definitely starting to feel like the most magical time of the year.

We loved joining the Christmas light switch-on at Cabot Circus and even got to see the Christmas Dubs…. what fun! 🚗💡🎅

The Christmas spirit is well and truly here, and we’re loving every moment of it! ❤️🎁✨

🎄✨ Spreading Christmas Cheer for a Great Cause!

Some of the guys from Gordena spent their Sunday evening helping raise money for Wiltshire & Bath Air Ambulance 🚁💛

They joined the Santa Magical Christmas Float, walking the streets, shaking those buckets, and spreading plenty of festive cheer along the way! 🧑‍🎄

It was a truly lovely evening….full of smiles, sparkle, and community spirit. ❤️

In October, the teams at Gordena and Hillcrest launched an appreciation initiative…. and it’s lovely to see!

Each month, team members are thoughtfully chosen to receive an appreciation certificate along with a small token of thanks, recognising the wonderful work they do every day. 💐✨

What a truly lovely idea…. A big well done to the team for creating such a meaningful way to celebrate staff, and a huge congratulations to everyone who has received a certificate so far.

And to every single staff member across all our services, thank you. Your dedication, kindness, and hard work never go unnoticed. 💛👏
