Supporting Darlington's elderly community
Christmas is a special time for families but for those with no family or friends around to visit it can be really depressing. Many elderly people in our community already suffer from isolation and loneliness, but this time of year can be very challenging.
Darlington Town Mission support our elderly "Friends" (clients) and help them to really look forward to the free Christmas outings where they have a chance to socialise and share some festive fun. For many it is the highlight of their year.
Not all "Friends" are able to leave their homes or care homes for a variety of reasons so are unable to enjoy a social event. We can all help to give them a gift of festive cheer.
Join us in our "Hamper Happiness" project. We'd like to deliver a Christmas Hamper filled with local festive fayre. Receiving a hamper would bring great joy. For those with no visitors, this might be the only gift that they receive this Christmas. Our two Missioners supported by a team of volunteers will deliver the gifts of happiness across Darlington to those living independently in their own homes and to those living in care homes.
