Residents and staff at RMBI Care Co. Home Zetland Court, in Bournemouth, have joined forces to raise money for Breast Cancer Now, a charity that provides research and life-changing care for people affected by breast cancer.
The staff used pink ornaments to decorate the Home, including its extensive gardens, and organised a series of afternoon tea parties. Even relatives gave a hand by making wonderful cakes for everyone to enjoy. In total, the care home has managed to raise around £500 from raffles and donations.
The residents and staff set up tables on the end of the Home’s drive and served tea, coffee and cakes to passers-by, neighbours, ambulance staff, postmen and refuse collectors.
Karen Casey, one of Zetland Court’s Activities Coordinators, said: “We suggested donations and they were very generous! The residents joined us and were very happy to meet the neighbours and wave to people on the open-topped buses passing by.”
RMBI Home Zetland Court, in Bournemouth, is run by RMBI Care Co., part of the Masonic Charitable Foundation. For more information, please visit: http://www.rmbi.org.uk/
