A DEDICATED carer at Dove Court in Wisbech took fundraising to a whole new level by sitting in a paddling pool filled with baked beans.
Pamela Mulqueen, who works as both a carer and activities coordinator at the care home, braved the unusual challenge in the garden to raise funds for a special day out chosen by the residents.
Thanks to Pamela’s commitment—and a lot of beans—more than £400 was raised. The residents will now come together to decide how they would like to spend the money, with plans for a memorable outing in the works.
Nicole Thompson, home manager at Dove Court, said: “Pamela is always full of beans. This fundraiser is just one example of how she goes above and beyond for our residents.
“The whole home got involved in cheering her on, and we’re all thrilled with the amount raised. Most importantly, the residents will have the final say on how the money is spent, which makes it even more special.”
