STAFF at an Andover care home dressed up in fancy dress to celebrate Macmillan’s Biggest Coffee Morning – and it was the residents who were put in charge of the judging.
There was plenty of coffee and homemade cake available at Millway House in Weyhill as the staff dressed up in a selection of clothes from charity shops, as well as a more exotic Nepalese traditional costume and a particularly striking banana outfit.
Residents handed out awards for the ‘Worst Dressed’ and ‘Ugliest Outfit’.
Home manager Claire Lousteau said: “Our residents loved seeing the staff dressed up, and it was great fun to see their faces when they caught sight of our Sarah dressed as a banana.
“Thanks go to our wonderful activities team, that extended a fundraising morning into a fun-packed day of activities.”
Staff also brought in some of their homemade bakes on the day for a fundraising cake auction. A Great British Bake Off-worthy jaffa cake bake secured an impressive bid for Macmillan, and, along with donations from the rest of the team, £102 was raised for the cancer charity.
