A celebration and networking event will be held at the new office on North Road and aims to bring together local professionals, community groups and residents for an evening focused on connection, collaboration and positive beginnings for 2026.
The event combines a grand opening with a community networking evening, reflecting Horizons Homecare’s commitment to building meaningful relationships within the City and Bay area. There is also free spaces for parking at the rear of (Dye House Lane) for the event only.
A Warm Welcome to Lancaster’s Health, Social, Community Professionals & Businesses
The evening begins with welcome drinks followed by short speeches introducing Horizons Homecare’s mission, values and the team who will be supporting the Lancaster and Morecambe area. Guests are invited to bring business cards and materials to share, reinforcing the event’s purpose as a collaborative networking opportunity for all.
The event agenda is featured on the event page on the companies website. The evening starts with introductions to open networking, ending with a celebratory ribbon cutting and photo opportunity to officially launch the new office. The informal format encourages genuine conversation and connections between business leaders, community leaders, charity partners, local service providers and other local professionals.
From One Community Business To Another
To celebrate the official opening of Horizons Homecare, Julie Shaw (previously of 'Simply Baby') has been asked to officially cut the ribbon.
Russell Crossley, Director of Horizons Homecare says "There is real importance in showing our local community that this prominent location, that has seen such positive reviews and community engagement over the past 20 years, is being passed from one community business to another. We are just glad that Julie said yes."
Why Horizons Homecare Has Chosen Lancaster
Lancaster is a growing and vibrant city with strong community values, making it an ideal location for Horizons Homecare’s expansion. The new branch, located at 44 to 48 North Road in the former Simply Baby building, will support Lancaster, Morecambe, Heysham and surrounding areas with personalised, relationship focused homecare.
Horizons Homecare has built a reputation across Lancashire for delivering unrushed visits, consistent carers, and person centred care planning. The Lancaster office continues this approach, ensuring families can access reliable and compassionate care in their own homes.
