Christmas Fayre at Holywell House

Wow, what a huge success our Christmas fayre was!

We raised over £1,000 and we cannot believe it! It was fantastic and the efforts we put in to making it a Christmas event to remember for our residents and their loved ones certainly paid off.

From cake, jewellery and bric a brac stalls to tombolas, delicious food and drink and amazing raffle prizes – there was something for everyone. Residents, their relatives and staff members really enjoyed themselves with lots getting dressed up in Christmas fancy dress and taking part in the games arranged too.

To make the Christmas fayre extra special we also celebrated one of the resident’s birthdays. Joan Askew turned 94 and we all sang Happy Birthday to her, presenting her with a gorgeous chocolate and cherry birthday cake handmade by our talented kitchen chefs.

We’re delighted that we raised £1,165 at the fayre which is an absolutely amazing achievement! The full amount will be donated to our residents’ fund which is used to take residents out on extra special day trips or to engage with local providers who offer specialist activities designed to enhance the quality of life for our residents. What a wonderful day, thank you to everyone who was involved!
