Care Homes across the Country Court group participated in Cake4Kindness Day on Thursday 20th November. Cake4Kindness is a registered not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) with a vision to alleviate loneliness and social isolation for those experiencing homelessness through the distribution of cakes.
Tallington Lodge Care Home in Tallington, near Stamford in Lincolnshire, had its kitchen team make and decorate cupcakes on behalf of the residents. The finished cakes were delivered to The Light Project Peterborough.
This charity has been active in Peterborough since 2009 and continues to support wherever it can. Over the years, they have led City Chaplaincy, Winter Night Shelters, Multi-Agency Community Support Teams and daytime services through their hub of delivery, the Garden House.
The Garden House offers information, advice and support to the rough sleepers in Peterborough seven days a week, with over 200 people who are homeless or in need visiting them every month. Their guests can receive food, drink and clothing.
They are supported by volunteers, members of staff and service providers in Peterborough who visit The Garden House regularly, supporting people sleeping rough in Peterborough.
Natalie White, home manager, said: “We wanted to be a part of the Cake4Kindness day and to give back to an amazing project in Peterborough. Being able to contribute and give them a sweet treat has put a smile on the residents’ faces, and we are excited to help build a kinder and more supportive community.”
