STAFF and residents at Ross Court Care Home held a charity coffee morning and bake sale to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Having a coffee morning at the care home in Ross on Wye was the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. The money raised helps everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.

Residents enjoyed spending time with friends and relatives, and members of the local community. The care home’s head chef had baked lots of cakes, biscuits and pastries for everyone to sample and for guests to buy to take home.

Some staff members had baked cakes and biscuits for the occasion too which were enthusiastically received by everyone.

Ross Court ’s coffee morning was a big success – and they managed to raise over £200 for the charity and most importantly, everyone had a great time doing it.

Agda-Claudia Vasileteanu general manager at Ross Court said: “Our Macmillan coffee morning has been a huge amount of fun, everyone at the home is always keen to support this fantastic charity in any way we can.

“We are very glad to be able to do our bit to raise further awareness for MacMillan and money for the charity.”

One of the residents at the home, commented: “MacMillan is such a fantastic charity and they do such amazing work in the community. We all love raising money for them and the best bit is, we get to each cake at the same time.”

The care home’s varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.

Ross Court is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care.
