A SHINFIELD care home whisked up £650 for charity earlier this month.
Residents at Parsons Grange took part in the ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support.
They sold a selection of cupcakes, doughnuts, muffins and more – and their £324 profit was matched by Care UK.
Anthony Browne, home manager at Parsons Grange, said: “We want to say a big thank you to everyone that came along to our cake sale and helped us raise a fantastic amount for Macmillan Cancer Support.
“Our Macmillan Coffee Morning is an annual event which everyone at Parsons Grange always looks forward to and this year was a huge amount of fun.
“It was great to see residents engaging with the local community this year, and for everyone involved to give something back to a charity which focuses on helping and supporting those in need.”
He said it also gave the staff a chance to “get their chef hats on” and plan a fun afternoon for residents.
Every year, Macmillan hosts coffee mornings across the UK to support people with cancer and has raised more than £290 million since its first event in 1990.
The funds will now be donated to support people through cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
