A Festive Celebration of Togetherness in Welwyn Garden
Our Hertfordshire Branch of Hartwig/My Life Care have for many years taken the time to create togetherness when it fills St Francis Church in Welwyn Garden for its annual Christmas dinner. This cherished event brought clients, their families, and dedicated carers under one roof to share in the festive season.
The church hall was adorned with sparkling decorations and the comforting sounds of Christmas music. Chatter and laughter echoed as crackers were pulled, creating an atmosphere of celebration. At the heart of the occasion was a freshly prepared Christmas feast, lovingly cooked and served by the leadership team, Registered Manager, Carlos, Care Coordinator, Lucy, Operations Manager, Maria and the service’s carers.
This gathering was more than a meal; it was a testament to the spirit of community that defines Hartwig/My Life Care. For many clients, the event offered a rare opportunity to come together, share stories, and enjoy the company of friends old and new. The smiles around the room spoke volumes about the importance of these moments.
As the afternoon drew to a close, Carlos took centre stage to deliver a heartfelt message of gratitude. He praised the unwavering commitment of the carers, whose dedication ensures the highest standard of support year-round. He also expressed deep appreciation to the clients for their trust and loyalty, acknowledging that their partnership is the cornerstone of the service’s success.
In a gesture that perfectly captured the spirit of giving, every guest was presented with a Christmas gift to take home, a small token of appreciation that carried immense meaning. It was a fitting end to a day that celebrated not only the festive season but also the values of compassion, respect, and unity that Hartwig/My Life Care holds dear.
Events like these remind us that care extends beyond professional duties; it is about creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and cherished. The annual Christmas dinner stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when a community comes together with kindness at its core.
