Care home group raises more than ten thousand pounds for Macmillan

Leading UK care home group Four Seasons has raised more than £10,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support through participating in this year’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning initiative.

The money raised will be used by the charity to help provide medical, financial and emotional support to those affected by cancer.

Staff and residents in more than 70 homes opened their doors to the local community and hosted coffee mornings where they served homemade cakes.

One Four Seasons care home in County Armagh also gave guests the opportunity to write a message, a prayer or a get well note on ‘Macmillan’ balloons, which were then released in the home’s courtyard.

Pauline Lawrance, regional managing director for Four Seasons, commented: “We are very proud to support and contribute to such a worthwhile cause that means a great deal to so many of us. Hearing how much money we’ve raised motivates us all here at Four Seasons to continue to do as much as we can to support Macmillan Cancer Support.”

Four Seasons regularly takes part in Macmillan’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning initiative, and its fundraising efforts have generated nearly £30,000 in the course of the last three years.
