Harrier House Care Home in Hucknall, part of the Adept Care Homes group, recently held a successful pre-loved clothes sale, bringing residents, families, team members, and the local community together for a day of sustainable shopping and social connection.
Thanks to generous clothing donations, residents had the chance to browse and select items they needed and loved — all for free! These new pieces made the perfect additions to their wardrobes while supporting environmentally friendly, sustainable practices. Residents were actively involved in sorting, displaying, and helping visitors, creating a sense of purpose and enjoyment throughout the event.
“I can’t believe how many wonderful pieces there were — it’s like someone else’s trash really is someone else’s treasure!” said one resident.
The initiative builds on Adept Care Homes’ recognition at last year’s Care Home Awards, where the group was awarded Best for Sustainability Initiative, highlighting its ongoing commitment to eco-friendly practices across all homes.
Samantha Kavanagh, Home Manager at Harrier House said: “It was wonderful to see our residents exploring the donations and choosing items they love. Events like this bring together sustainability, community spirit, and meaningful engagement, creating joy for everyone involved.”
The pre-loved clothes sale reflects Adept Care Homes’ commitment to sustainability, community involvement, and enriching experiences for residents.
