Supporting Preston Local Cancer Groups and Dementia Cafés over the Festive Period and Beyond

There’s no place like home, and there’s no care quite like Caremark. At Caremark Preston, we’re proud to be part of our local community, working side by side with cancer groups and dementia cafés to bring warmth, practical help and specialist home care to people who need it. Our focus is simple: we help you live well at home, stay connected, and feel supported through the festive season and every month of the year.

Caremark Preston, working with local cancer groups and dementia cafes over the festive period and beyond, is all about partnership. We listen to what each group needs, we bring our trained Care Assistants, and we make sure families have clear, friendly guidance. From gentle companionship to expert care routines, we deliver support that feels human, safe and dependable.

How We Are Supporting Preston Local Cancer Groups

Living with cancer can be challenging, especially in winter. We partner with voluntary organisations, hospital-linked charities and peer support groups to make sure people affected by cancer have the right help at the right time. Our approach is personal and practical. We take the time to understand your routine, your preferences and your goals, then tailor our help accordingly.

Over the festive period, our Care Assistants attend community meetings and drop-in sessions to offer simple, meaningful support:

• Friendly wellbeing check-ins, with clear signposting to local services
• Transport assistance for those who find winter travel difficult
• Light refreshments and seasonal activities that lift spirits
• Easy-to-follow guidance on safe winter planning, medication, nutrition and rest

We also stand with family carers. Whether you’re managing fatigue, preparing for treatment days or juggling busy holiday diaries, we share straightforward tips that reduce stress and keep routines calm and predictable.

Beyond Christmas, we keep the momentum going. Regular collaboration strengthens referral pathways, builds continuity between clinical teams and care at home, and helps customers regain confidence after treatment. It’s community care that lasts, not just a seasonal burst of goodwill.

Working Hand-in-Hand with Dementia Cafés

Dementia cafés are a lifeline—welcoming spaces to connect, share stories and take part in activities that feel familiar and joyful. Caremark Preston supports these cafés by attending sessions, offering practical advice and facilitating gentle, person-centred activities. Our Care Assistants are trained in dementia care and understand how to create calm, reassuring environments.

During the festive season, we help cafés host inclusive events such as:

• Gentle singing and reminiscence with well-loved seasonal tunes
• Sensory-friendly crafts and memory box-making
• Quiet corners for rest and conversation
• Short, structured gatherings with clear signage and accessible seating

We pay attention to the small things—lighting, noise levels, timing—so families can join in comfortably. The result is a warm, enjoyable experience where everyone feels included. This is Caremark Preston working with local cancer groups and dementia cafes over the festive period and beyond in action: practical care, delivered with kindness.

Quality You Can Trust

We’re serious about standards. Our care is guided by dignity, independence, compassion and reliability. Every visit is person-centred, shaped around what matters to you, and delivered with a cheery smile. We complement clinical care by making life at home safer and more manageable.

Training is the backbone of our service. Care Assistants receive a thorough induction and ongoing development, with specialist modules in cancer care, dementia support, communication, safeguarding, infection prevention and medication awareness. We blend practical skills with empathy, so our teams can respond confidently to complex needs.

Families tell us our presence brings peace of mind. “Caremark helped us keep Mum’s routine steady through treatment,” and “The dementia café sessions made Dad feel part of the community again.” Feedback like this motivates us and keeps our standards high.
