Flixton care home supports Manchester Shoebox Appeal

Residents and staff members at De Brook Lodge care home are supporting the Manchester Shoebox Appeal this Christmas by becoming a donation drop-off location.

The Manchester Shoebox Appeal, run by Manchester Street Angels, encourages communities to donate gifts for vulnerable people and animals who otherwise might receive nothing.

Alan Eyres, home manager at residential and dementia specialists De Brook Lodge, said: “Community is so important to everyone at De Brook Lodge, and we’re always looking for ways to support those around us who might be struggling.

“By becoming a drop-off location for gift donations and spreading the spirit of giving, we hope to be able to make this festive season a special one for as many people as possible.”

Donations can be dropped off at: De Brook Lodge care home, 110 Irlam Road, Flixton, Manchester, M41 6NA by November 22, 2024.

For more information call 0161 755 9750, or email: [email protected].

De Brook Lodge is operated by Ideal Carehomes, which is part of HC-One.
