A STEETON nursing home has held its most successful-ever summer fair.

Hundreds of people attended the event, at Currergate.

And more than £1,250 was raised, to be split between the home’s residents’ fund and the British Red Cross.

Attractions included a barbecue, cream teas, a raffle, tombola, cake sale and treasure hunt.

Zoe Hooper, for Currergate, said: “The weather was fantastic and we had a big turnout.

“We’d received a fundraising pack from the British Red Cross including lots of cake recipes, so we baked and sold cakes, with all the proceeds going to the charity.

“The organisation does an amazing job helping millions of people, both in the UK and around the world.

“We also raised an impressive sum for our residents’ fund, which helps to pay for a wide range of days out and events. These have recently included canal boat trips, days at the coast and evening entertainment and cabaret acts.

“We’re also planning to spend some of the money on a cappuccino machine, which is going to be very popular with our residents and their families!”

Currergate is owned by the Czajka Care Group.
