They require constant assistance and support for daily activities, with staff members on duty 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on 2025, Chrissie Damons, facility manager, and Evette Lucas, administrator, are pleased that more awareness and outreach activities were possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time, Helen Bishop participated in Casual Day, which was a great success. Some of the children took part in a Valentine&#8217;s Day event, a nappy run with Kgosi Galeshewe Athletics Club and Ekhaya Private Hospital, the Diamonds and Dorings Big Hole Marathon, a visit to Yonder and the William Humphreys Art Gallery. Also, more visits and donations from school groups and police officers took place, and projects such as Mr and Miss Diamantveld had a positive influence.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"295398\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/helen-bishop-home-reflects-on-2025-whilst-embracing-hope-for-2026\/helenbishopnappyrunw_25559\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/HelenBishopnappyrunw_25559.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1697\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"HelenBishopnappyrunw_25559\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;A Helen Bishop Home resident during the nappy run with Franklin Mongale of the Kgosi Galeshewe Athletics Club (KGA).
