ANCHOR care homes across Yorkshire held simultaneous coffee mornings to help raise money for a dementia charity.
The Manor House Harrogate, The Manor House Knaresborough, The Mill House Skipton, Borrage House (Ripon), Gill’s Top (Grassington) and Townend Close (Keighley) all took part in the fundraising efforts in aid of Dementia Forward, which supports people living with dementia and their families across North Yorkshire.
The care homes invited members of the community to join their respective coffee mornings, with residents welcoming the opportunity to meet new people.
Community partnership manager Caryn Ferguson said: “Fundraising for local charities and organisations like Dementia Forward is very important to us. After all, we all have the same aim; to look after the people in our communities who need us most.
“Welcoming the wider community into Anchor care homes to be part of our events and celebrations is very important to the residents as it enhances the importance they still have as members of the towns and villages they live in.”
