Thank you for a joyous end to 2024
With your help, we served almost 1 500 Durban elders with a magnificent Christmas meal over the festive season at our various residences and wellness centres.
Support from the people of Durban was overwhelming; we really cannot thank you enough for ‘coming to the party’ with generous sponsorship to ensure that no one was left out.
Your contributions ensured a three-course traditional meal for every guest. But what you gave was so much more than just a good meal. You gave elders the opportunity to dress up, enjoy companionship and laughter, music, entertainment and dancing as they celebrated the completion of the 2024 year!
The annual festivities are a reminder that life is worth living, and that the coming year holds promise for joy, growth and dignity.
“Today we had a wonderful Christmas party. I enjoyed the food and entertainment. I danced with others and sang songs.” – Mrs M
“We were very excited for our lunch, because our families are not here. But the staff made us feel so wonderful.” – Nellie
The positive feedback was priceless. And, we could never have done it without your help. Thank you for the joy you gave.
May you be richly blessed for your kindness, and may 2025 bring you peace, prosperity and love in abundance.

When is it time for frail care? When it enhances dignity and quality of life.
