Easter is a time to reflect that God so loved the world he gave his only Son for each of us, and we celebrate his love and sacrifice at this time.

Happy Easter to all our team members caring for people in need this weekend, across our care homes, hospitals and in the community.

'Darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon because of an eclipse of the sun. Then the veil of the temple was torn down the middle. Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit”; and when he had said this he breathed his last”.

HammondCare Social Clubs provide respite for caregivers, allowing them to take a break while their family members engage in activities tailored to their interests, led by a dedicated and empathetic team.
