CARE home residents and staff along with the local community came together to raise money for charity. 

Moors Manor care home in St Leonard’s held an autumn fayre in its grounds in aid of YMCA Sleep Easy charity, which is a cause very close to the home’s heart.

A variety of activities were hosted throughout the day to raise money for the charity, including serving a buffet prepared by head chef Mustapha Akab, a raffle, golf, a pony visit, and stalls from different local businesses.

There was also live entertainment by Amie Knight and Ferndown Strummers, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who came to the event.

For the first time since opening in 2021, the home was able to hold its annual autumn fayre and the staff and residents were delighted to see different generations having fun together again.

General manager Jenna May said: “Staff at Moors Manor care home are dedicated to making sure that the home is a hub of the local community, and this event, along with all their hard work, has definitely paid off. It was a resounding success.”

Activity coordinator Sally-Ann Arnold added: “We just want to say a big thank you to everyone involved from the stall holders to everyone that came along to support us.”
