Collisdene Care Centre in Strathaven, comprising of three wonderful houses operated Canterbury Care, has expressed its gratitude to several key members of its community through the presentation of exclusive Trees of Life artworks.
This unique initiative highlights the appreciation and strong bond shared between the care centre and its local community partners and friends. The Trees of Life, symbolising growth, support, and mutual care, were bestowed upon various recipients, including Stonehouse Hospital, Strathaven Academy, Alba Medical Group Strathaven Practice, Avondale radio station, Strathaven fire station, Down’s Syndrome Scotland, Boots UK, Sainsbury’s, and the Community Bus, among others.
Crafted by the residents themselves, these gifts serve as a poignant reminder of the invaluable support and generosity extended by these organisations and individuals to the residents and staff of Collisdene Care Centre.
Rosie Brennan, the activities coordinator at Collisdene Care Centre, expressed her thoughts on the initiative: “The Trees of Life are a tribute to the incredible network of support we are fortunate to have. Each branch of these trees represents the strength and nurturing our friends and partners have generously provided, allowing our residents to flourish. We are always moved by the dedication and kindness shown towards our home. This gesture is a small token of our gratitude.”
The collaboration and contributions from these community members have played a vital role in enriching the lives of those residing at Collisdene Care Centre, offering them opportunities to engage, connect, and enjoy a more fulfilling life experience.
