Fairway View Care Home Brings Holiday Cheer with The Salvation Army Christmas Toy Appeal

Residents and colleagues at HC-One’s Fairway View Care Home in Nottingham have been spreading festive joy by supporting The Salvation Army’s Christmas Toy Appeal. The initiative aims to ensure children in need wake up to presents on Christmas morning, bringing smiles to young faces across the local community.
 
Heidi Duffy, Lifestyle Manager at Fairway View, explained the motivation behind the initiative:

"The thought of a child waking up on Christmas morning without a present is heartbreaking, so we wanted to give Santa a helping hand. Our residents and staff have been incredibly generous, donating toys, wrapping presents, and even helping to sort them to make sure every child gets a gift they will love."
 
Over the past few weeks, Fairway View residents have been actively involved in the campaign. Many have shared stories of their own childhood Christmases, adding a personal touch to the toy collection effort. The home also hosted small festive events to encourage participation, including a donation drive where families and local friends were invited to contribute.
 
This initiative reflects Fairway View’s dedication not only to the well-being of its residents but also to supporting the wider Nottingham community. By fostering acts of kindness and charity, the care home hopes to inspire the next generation of helpers while making the holiday season brighter for children who might otherwise go without.
 
Heidi Duffy added:

"Seeing the residents’ excitement as they help gather and wrap the toys is heartwarming. It’s a wonderful reminder of the joy that giving can bring, no matter your age."
 
Fairway View Care Home continues to encourage community engagement and charitable initiatives, emphasizing the importance of compassion, generosity and togetherness throughout the year.
