What’s Coming This Christmas at Everwood Care Charity
With the festive season fast approaching, we are delighted to share our full programme of Christmas and New Year events taking place throughout December across Little Haven and Heartland Manor care homes.
A Season of Community and Celebration
This year’s calendar is filled with performances, traditional celebrations, community visits, and special moments designed to bring joy and connection to our residents and their families who are more than welcome to join us for any or all of the events.

Let’s take a look at the plans for this month…

17th December (Early Evening) – Charity Christmas Fire Engine Visit
This is one of the most anticipated events of the season and we’re delighted to see it return for 2025. The local charity fire engine will make its festive appearance at Little Haven and Heartland Manor, complete with twinkling lights, music, and a special appearance from Santa and his Elves!
This visit has become a cherished annual highlight, offering residents a wonderful sense of excitement, community spirit, and Christmas magic.

25th December – Christmas Day Celebrations
Christmas morning begins with presents around the tree or in the privacy of our residents rooms (whichever they prefer), creating a warm and joyful start to the most magical day of the year. Residents will then gather for pre-lunch drinks followed by a traditional Christmas meal.
In the late afternoon at 3pm, everyone is invited to watch His Majesty the King’s Speech, which is a much-valued tradition shared by many across the country.
26th December – Boxing Day Party
Nothing says Boxing Day like a relaxed gathering inclusive of nibbles, music, and plenty of time to unwind after the excitement of Christmas Day.
1st January – New Year’s Day Party
We welcome the arrival of 2026 with our New Year’s Day Party, offering residents a cheerful and positive start to the new year.
We look forward to celebrating with residents and their loved ones who we kindly ask for a heads-up from if they wish to join us, so we can ensure it is safe for everyone.
Here’s to a season of warmth, togetherness, and memorable celebrations at Little Haven and Heartland Manor. We extend our thanks to the families, staff, performers, and community partners who help make these events possible and look forward to a memorable Christmas season and a positive start to the New Year!
We wish anyone reading this a heartful Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
