Staff have been working hard at the Glaitness Centre in Kirkwall to bring some Christmas cheer to the residents and visitors during the festive season.
In November they put a call out to local people and staff for donations of old decorations that they could use and received a fantastic response. They also received support from local charity shops to help them ‘deck the halls’.
Karl Kemp, Duty Manager said: “We have a lot to celebrate this year after our Very Good rating by the Care Inspectorate in October.
"The team here wanted to do something a little over the top as during Covid it wasn’t possible and a lot of people in our small community were isolated.
“Our residents have already enjoyed a meal at a local restaurant and today we will have a get together for service users, friends and family surrounded by the decorations. You can’t help smiling now at Glaitness, it’s so full of Christmas cheer.”
Glaitness Centre is a Day Centre run by Orkney Health and Care for people aged 16 to 65 who have physical disabilities and / or sensory impairments. Find out more on our Day Centres webpage.
