Northamptonshire homebuilder spreads a little joy with care package donation

Glenvale Park Care Home in Wellingborough has received a care package donation from local housebuilder Barratt and David Wilson Homes.

Located close to the homebuilder’s Glenvale Park developments on Niort Way, the care home offers first-class residential and dementia care for up to 66 residents.

The goodwill gesture of treats, entertainment and essential items was part of Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ outreach in the communities in which it builds new homes.

Carley Calder, Home Manager from Glenvale Park Care Home, said: “We are so grateful to Barratt and David Wilson Homes for their kind donations. The residents were so happy to receive the care package and will get lots of enjoyment from the donation.”

The care package was comprised of essentials such as shower gels, bars of soap, a box of chocolates, biscuits, and a large pack of greetings cards for residents to use for keeping in touch with family and friends.

The donation also included jigsaw puzzles and a set of dominos for light-hearted recreation when needed, recognising the importance of social engagement with care settings.

Kerry Mullen, Sales Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Northampton, said: “As a leading housebuilder, it’s important to us to support the communities in the areas that we build new homes. We hope this donation will provide some entertainment and use for the staff and residents at Glenvale Park Care Home.”
