CARE home residents strode the equivalent distance from Poole to Windsor Castle to raise money for a hospice.
Colten Care’s dedicated dementia facility The Aldbury launched the fundraiser to support Forest Holme Hospice.
Companionship team member Melissa Siat said: “Forest Holme Hospice is our charity of the year and the residents wanted to raise some money for its amazing work whilst also enjoying some quality time outside together. So, we would set ourselves a walking challenge to try to walk the 93.25 miles from The Aldbury to Windsor Castle.”
The month-long challenge entailed companions and residents walking for 30 minutes each day.
Sometimes this was split into separate 10-minute walks morning, afternoon and evening and while the majority of the walks were taken outside in the home’s garden, rainy day walks also took place inside.
The Aldbury raised £160 and staff and residents have already started thinking about their next challenge.
