The holiday season is in full swing at Goldcrest House and our sister home Holland House, as we come together to prepare for a festive season.

Adding to the magic of the season, we enjoyed a memorable day out aboard the Tilly Community Canal Boat, a wonderful experience generously provided free of charge by HFR Solutions CIC. Known for their expertise in emergency response and workplace safety, HFR Solutions CIC also extends their community spirit by offering opportunities like this to create special moments. It was an especially special moment for us.

From arts and crafts to exciting outings, every day is a step closer to the magic of Christmas. Trimming up the trees has been a highlight, as well as the festive baking of shortbread. No Christmas season is complete without a special outing, and this year we visited Sundown Adventureland to meet Santa himself! Of course, Christmas shopping trips have been a firm favourite too. 

As we prepare for Christmas dinner, we’ve been hard at work creating personalised placemats for the big day. These one-of-a-kind pieces not only showcase our creativity but also add a special touch to our Christmas celebrations. 

At Goldcrest House and Holland House, the holiday season is more than just a time of celebration—it’s an opportunity to strengthen the bonds of our community, spark joy through shared experiences, and create memories that will be cherished for years to come.

We wish everyone a joyful, peaceful, and magical Christmas season from all of us here at Goldcrest House and Holland House!
