Staff at Hambleton Grange partnered with the Community Works Thirsk charity to create the essential goods packages. The contributions from the home will go some way to helping ensure that families and older people do not go without during lockdown. Residents at the care home helped staff organise stock and pack bags ready to be delivered around the community. Resident, Gerry Murray, who has lived at Hambleton Grange since December 2018, said: I think it is excellent that our team wanted to be involved in helping out the community at such an unprecedented time. It is a true testament to their commitment to caring and nurturing for the people around them.
