LOCAL CARE HOME RAISES FUNDS FOR COMIC RELIEF

Staff and residents at Mount Vale Care Home in Northallerton have taken part in a bake sale and cake competition to raise money for Comic Relief’s 40th Red Nose Day on March 21st.

Staff and residents at the home donned their red noses and fashion wear from the last 40 years and got stuck in to help raise funds for this very important cause.

Comic Relief spends the money raised by Red Nose Day to help people living tough lives across the UK and internationally. Since its launch in 1988, Red Nose Day has become a British institution when people across the country get together to raise money at their home, school and work, accompanied by an exciting night of TV on the BBC, full of comedy and entertainment to inspire the nation to give generously.

Residents and staff at Mount Vale Care Home were all very supportive and were there to join in with the fun and enjoy the cakes being sold.

Louise, Activities Co-ordinator at Mount Vale Care Home, said: “Taking part in Red Nose Day has been a huge amount of fun and everyone at the home has been behind us all the way. It’s for such an important cause. I’m very glad to be able to do my bit to raise further awareness and money for the charity.”

Mount Vale Care Home raised a grand total of £57 by completing the challenge, which will be donated to Comic Relief.

Our 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.
