Autumn at Harbour – Community and Creativity

As autumn draws to a close, we’re reflecting on our Autumn at Harbour campaign, which has been all about celebrating the people, connections and communities that make our homes so special.

At the heart of this year’s campaign was our Community Tree initiative, inviting residents, relatives, team members and members of the local community to create their own autumn leaves. Across Harbour, our homes have brought their trees to life with an array of colourful, creative and personal contributions. Each leaf represents an individual – coming together to create something truly unique.

It has been wonderful to see the different people getting involved, from relatives and team members to local schoolchildren and community groups. At Woodlands Care Home, for example, children from a local primary school visited to add their decorated leaves, creating opportunities for residents and children to spend time together and build new connections.

The initiative has been a lovely reminder that community means something different to everyone, and that everyone has something valuable to contribute. Whether creating a leaf, sharing a story or simply taking part, each contribution has helped make our Community Trees what they are.

As we bring Autumn at Harbour to a close, we’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the initiative such a success. We’re proud to see our homes celebrating the communities around them and look forward to continuing to build these connections.
