Building Communities with Sylvian Care

This week, our Sylvian Care Swindon team embodied this belief by dedicating their time to support Age UK Wiltshire.

Age UK is a charity that holds a special place in our hearts. Their mission is to improve the lives of older people, offering vital support and services that help them retain their independence, dignity, and well-being. From companionship to practical advice, Age UK ensures that no older person feels forgotten or alone. It’s a mission that aligns perfectly with our own—providing relationship-based care that allows elderly individuals to stay in the comfort of their own homes, living life on their terms with the support of our dedicated care professionals.

For us, caring isn’t just about the clients we serve; it’s about contributing to a larger community effort

That’s why Claire Puttick, our registered manager at Sylvian Care Swindon, led her team this week to sort through donations at Age UK Wiltshire. Together, they sifted through clothing, books, and household items, ensuring these donations would reach those who need them most.

For Claire and her team, the experience was more than just a task—it was an opportunity to connect with a cause that truly matters. “It’s incredibly rewarding to know that our efforts, even in small ways, contribute to the well-being of the elderly in our community,” Claire shared. “It gives us a sense of purpose, knowing that we are helping to build a better, more connected world for older people.”

The Swindon team’s efforts are a reflection of the values we hold dear across the entire Sylvian Care franchise network. With locations throughout the country, Sylvian Care is committed to not only providing exceptional care to our clients but also playing an active role in the communities we serve. We believe that when we come together with like-minded organisations, like Age UK, we can make a greater impact—one that extends far beyond the day-to-day work we do.

For us, it's about building a network of support—one that includes clients, their families, our care professionals, and the wider community. By joining hands with Age UK Wiltshire, the Sylvian Care Swindon team demonstrated that our commitment to care goes beyond the ordinary. It’s about seeing the bigger picture and ensuring that every action we take contributes to a world where older people feel valued, respected, and connected.
