Samantha Kavanagh, Home Manager at Harrier House Care Home will ‘BRAVE THE SHAVE’ by shaving her head on Tuesday 28th February 2023 at Harrier House to support the resident’s social fund and ‘Make A Wish’ programme.
Sam and members of the team at Harrier House Care Home in Hucknall will be ‘braving the shave’ as residents and relatives pick up the razor and shave their heads.
This fundraiser is part of a range of activities and fundraising events the team at Harrier House take part in, to ensure their residents are living meaningful and enriched lives as well as to give back to local communities, charities, and organisations.
Speaking of the experience, Sam said: “I am delighted to be able to do something which will raise both funds and awareness. Our residents are still very active in their local community and have so much passion for life. Since Harrier House opened its doors in May 2021, we have been governed by so many restrictions due to Covid, this is the first-year residents will really be able to get and out and about and enjoy the summer at its best, I want to make sure our residents can make the most of it, with day trips, garden parties, celebrations and so much more.”
“The home also has a in-house ‘Make A Wish’ program, where every resident is encouraged to make a wish, no matter how big or small,” said Sam.
Rosaline’s, a resident at Harrier House wishes to “see a live Tom Jones concert, I would love to meet him in person.”
The wishes are put on in the home’s magic wish tree and every month, one resident is picked at random to have their wish come true. “We would like to grant everyone’s wish. The possibilities are endless. I am supported wholeheartedly by the residents and even a couple of members of the team have decided to join me. Any support you can give us, no matter how big or small will be greatly appreciated,” said Sam.
Join us for the ‘Big Shave’ on Tuesday 28th Feb 2023 at 2pm.
