Holiday Magic: Our Favourite Christmas Caregiving Stories - E10
Oh what a wonderful time of year to spread love and Christmas cheer, and there’s nowhere more caring and kind than the hearts of our Christmas caregivers.
In one of our most heartwarming episodes of Reasons to Care, we’re celebrating all those who give so much at Christmas time by sharing our favourite stories - from trees carrying on a beloved man’s legacy, to Secret Santa and bauble-swapping shenanigans!
This episode covers:
Heartwarming holiday traditions with team members and those that they support
The rewarding nature of how much joy caregivers bring to families at such an important time of the year
The many incredible ways that those in care can inspire people
Trigger warning! We’re discussing the Big Red Man so perhaps keep any little ears away!
