RESIDENTS at Richmond Villages Wood Norton came together recently for their annual summer fayre, celebrating the sunny weather whilst also raising more than £650 for charity.
The party atmosphere was made complete by musical entertainment from the AvonBank Brass Band, as well as singer, Steve Saunders.
A raffle and tombola was a particular highlight of the afternoon, along with a resident who had a stall selling silk painted items, helping to raise further funds.
Altogether an impressive £660 was made for Cruse Bereavement Support, a charity offering emotional care to anyone affected by grief.
Through the hard work of its trained volunteers, Cruse Bereavement Support provides a free helpline and a range of local support services to people across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The funds raised will go directly towards helping the charity to train more people to become volunteers and provide support across all types of bereavement to those who need it most.
James Culley, manager at Richmond Villages Wood Norton, said: “Our summer fayre is always a huge hit with our residents, and it was fantastic to come together in our lovely garden for an afternoon of fun, whilst also raising money for Cruse Bereavement Support.
“The charity is close to our residents’ hearts, and we were delighted to raise some funds to help the charity continue its important work.”
