On 16th December, Greenbanks Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, recently wrapped up a successful four-week “Don’t Dine Alone” initiative, offering community members the opportunity to enjoy a warm, three-course meal together at dinnertime. The scheme aimed to combat loneliness, particularly during the festive season, and provided a welcoming space for people to connect and share a Christmas meal.
The initiative, which invited members of the community to join Greenbanks for dinner, proved to be a wonderful success, bringing people together in a heartwarming way. Among the touching moments of the event, two women who had once been best friends were unexpectedly reunited during one of the meals, which was a wholesome surprise for everybody present.
Kirsty, the Customer Relations Manager at Greenbanks, shared her thoughts on the initiative, saying: “We had some lovely evenings over the past four weeks, and it was wonderful to bring the community together in our home and support them to have a hot meal.”
The “Don’t Dine Alone” initiative not only provided nourishing meals but also fostered a sense of belonging and connection, making it a meaningful experience for all involved. Greenbanks looks forward to continuing efforts to support the community.
