Denise Morris , manager of Fairholme gives us a round up of events | We decided to be a part of the ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ in September to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. | | We all gathered together for coffee and cakes on the morning of 28th September. Roger Knox did us a painting of a canal boat to raffle. We sold Charity Christmas cards, calendars, pens etc with the Macmillan logo and had a big raffle to raise money for the charity. We all had a good time and were pleased to be able to help a good cause. | We also have plans to support the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign on 26th October as we did last year. We will have a pink theme to the day. Staff and service users will wear something pink and we will have a pink slant to the menu and pink activities. |  |
10th anniversary celebration at Fairholme We held our 10th anniversary celebration at Fairholme on Wednesday the 22nd of August. We were really pleased to have a lovely sunny day for our barbecue, considering what terrible weather there had been all summer. |  |  | We had a clown who circulated doing magic tricks during the barbeque and then did a show to end the day. We had a summer fair after the barbeque with a tombola, cake stall, crafts and beauty products for sale. We were pleased to have a visit from several of the board members and some service user’s families came too. We had a very enjoyable day! |
An appropriate addition to the furniture at Fairholme We were very pleased to win a prize in the cake competition at the garden party in July this year. We decided to buy something for the home which would be useful and a good memento of Natasha’s achievement. After discussions at resident’s and staff meetings we decided that a clock would be a good idea….. and what could be more appropriate in a care home than a Grandmother Clock! We are all pleased with our new acquisition; it looks lovely near the entrance to the home.
