Residents and staff from Laureate Court Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, took to the streets of Rotherham on 14th February, to share the spirit of love and kindness with the local community. As part of their heartwarming initiative, they handed out “Bags of Love”—small tokens of appreciation—to brighten the day of those they met.
Sharon, Lifestyle Coordinator at Laureate Court, expressed the joy of the event: “It was great to get out into the community of Rotherham and spread the love on Valentine’s Day. Seeing the smiles on people’s faces was amazing.”
The initiative was designed to strengthen community ties while giving residents an opportunity to engage with people outside the care home. Two residents joined lifestyle coordinators in the effort, meeting locals, sharing conversations, and spreading positivity.
“We love engaging with the local community, and we thought there was no better way—or better day—to do it than on Valentine’s Day,” said Sharon.
The atmosphere was filled with love, laughter, and joy as residents and staff connected with people throughout Rotherham. The event served as a beautiful reminder of the power of small acts of kindness and the importance of maintaining strong community connections.
With the success of this year’s event, Laureate Court looks forward to continuing similar outreach efforts, proving that a little love can go a long way in bringing people together.
