On Christmas Eve at 6pm, no matter where you are in the country, people are being encouraged to go outside, on front door steps or into back gardens, to ring bells for two minutes to spread Christmas cheer.
After a tough year, communities are being encouraged to join in the bell ringing to create a magical sound and amazing memories for all.
While a simple concept, this bell ringing will hopefully be a wonderful reminder to all that, even when socially distanced, we are still all together.
There are two Facebook groups encouraging homes across the World to get involved – with over half a million followers between them.
Healthcare Homes is happy to support this initiative to bring the festive sound of bells to our homes ahead; creating a lovely experience for both residents and staff, in order to herald in the celebrations of Christmas.
