Baycroft Flitwick Care Home, near Ampthill, recently marked 'National Give Something Away Day' with a comforting celebration that brought smiles to residents and staff alike.
Rather than giving away physical items, the team at Baycroft chose to share something simple yet powerful — hugs. Residents and staff took part in the day by giving and receiving warm embraces, creating an atmosphere of kindness, connection, and joy.
“The smallest gestures often bring the greatest happiness,” said Wellbeing Coordinator Lead Bernie Hoo-Hing. “Seeing everyone come together to share a moment of care truly captured the spirit of the day.”
‘National Give Something Away Day, created by Linda Eaton Hall-Fulcher, encourages people to give generously — not just gifts, but time, kindness, and attention.’
“What a fantastic thing to do. Bringing a ray of sunshine to everyone’s life.”
“So lovely to have all residents involved. Not always an easy task. Well done, Baycroft.”
“This is so beautiful.”
The event is part of Baycroft Flitwick’s commitment to providing person-centred care and building strong relationships within the home. Regular themed days and wellbeing activities are planned to ensure every resident feels included, valued, and uplifted.
“It’s moments like these that make the biggest difference,” added Wellbeing Coordinator Lead Bernie Hoo-Hing. “It’s not always about grand gestures — sometimes, a hug is enough.”
