A South Lakeland homecare company is asking people to donate Easter eggs for the lonely, vulnerable and isolated.
Home Instead has teamed up with Morrisons in Kendal and Levens Village Store as drop-off points so people can leave their Easter eggs at those shops until March 30.
The firm is working with groups in the area, including the Peoples Café, Kendal Integrated Care Community, Kendal Community Emergency Planning Group and Sight Advice South Lakes, who will help to identify people who may be lonely, vulnerable or isolated this Easter.
Judy Clay, owner of Home Instead South Lakes, said: “Although we’ve been there to provide home care and companionship to many older people throughout the pandemic, we know not all are so lucky.
“The lockdown periods throughout the recent winter months have proved challenging for many older people- who have been unable to see family or friends, or go about their normal lifestyle.
“By distributing Easter eggs to local people who may be feeling lonely or isolated this Easter, we are bringing some spring cheer and helping to remind them that there are people thinking about them and that an end to these strange times is in sight.”
If you are a business, or community group that can help in any way or you know anyone that would benefit from an Easter Egg, call 01539 267220.
