Staff at North Park Care Home in Darlington have opened up their doors to welcome the emergency services personnel in their local area.  

As a way of thanking paramedics, nurses, police officers, and other emergency services workers who don’t always have time to go home or back to their workplace on their break, the team and the residents of North Park will provide free food and drink to all emergency service staff.

The offer is available every last Friday of the month from 11:30am at the home on l'Anson Street.

Lisa Frame, the General Manager of North Park has extended the invitation throughout the local area, said: “To say thank you for all of the great work our emergency services do for us, we here at North Park are inviting all members of the police, ambulance and fire services to pop in and take their duty break on us for free.

“We are pleased to offer all of our local service workers who stop in tea, coffee, juice, chilled water, delicious homemade cake and biscuits and a healthy selection of fruit, available free of charge.

“Our comfortable facilities include free Wi-Fi and service with a smile; do stop in and say hi, we would be delighted to see you!”
