Christmas at One Step Care

Celebrating Christmas at One Step Care: A Season of Joy, Togetherness and Care

Christmas at One Step Care is about more than decorations and festive jumpers — it’s about creating moments of joy, connection, and belonging across our homes and teams. This year, the festive season brought smiles, laughter, and togetherness across Park View, Stan House, and our Head Office, as well as a few fun surprises along the way.

Here’s a look at how we celebrated Christmas together.

Elf on the Shelf: Bringing Festive Fun to Our Homes

Our Elf on the Shelf brought plenty of laughter and festive mischief this Christmas, with a new surprise waiting each day. From being found “behind bars” in the oven, complete with an oven tray barricade, to cheekily pouring cereal into shoes because it “couldn't find any bowls!,” the elf certainly kept everyone guessing.

These light-hearted moments sparked shared laughter, conversation, and creativity, reminding us that it’s often the small, silly surprises that create the biggest smiles and bring everyone together.

Managers’ Christmas Meal at Miller & Carter

As part of our Christmas celebrations, our management team enjoyed a well-deserved festive meal at Miller & Carter. This was a valuable opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and reflect on the year’s achievements, challenges, and successes.

The evening was a chance to recognise the dedication and commitment of our leadership team, celebrate teamwork, and strengthen connections as we look ahead to the year to come.

Safeclicks Uk Initiative

Safeclicks UK have been encouraging their local community to come together and spread joy by organising gifts for children in care. Their team approached One Step Care simply to ensure these gifts reach young people who may benefit the most.

We’re grateful to Safeclicks UK for choosing to support young people at One Step Care.

Supporting Local Christmas Appeals

Giving back to our community is at the heart of what we do. This year, One Step Care proudly supported two local Christmas appeals:

• Mission Christmas – Cash for Kids, with toy donations to help ensure children wake up to something special on Christmas morning.
• LD: North East Christmas Chocolate Appeal, donating chocolates to help bring festive joy to local families.

Christmas Celebrations all around

We loved celebrating the festive season across Stan House and Park View, with Christmas jumpers, festive costumes, party games, great food, and lots of smiles.

A huge thank you to our dedicated teams for creating such a warm and joyful atmosphere, and for continuing to make a positive difference every day.

One Step Care to yours!
