Steyning Care Home Raises over £800 at Festive Fete

A care home in Steyning has raised more than £800 with a Christmas fete which included a raffle, cake sale and a stall selling a wonderful selection of crafts made by the residents such as snow globes and tree decorations.

Croft Meadow Care Home in Steyning invited residents, family and friends together to join in the festive celebrations which raised money to boost the residents social fund and also for St Barnabas Hospice who provides specialist palliative care services to adults with advanced progressive life-limiting illnesses, both within the hospice and in the comfort of patients’ own homes across West Sussex.

The home also had a special visitor to their grotto on the day, two year old St Bernard, Leonard. Leonard was rescued from Serbia where he was found chained up and living off corn but now lives the life of luxury in Hove and regularly visits the residents at Croft Meadow who love making a fuss of him and very much look forward to spending time with him.

Sharalee Thrumble, manager at Croft Meadow, said, “It was a wonderful afternoon and the staff worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone had a great time, especially Barbara and Anita, our Activities Coordinators. Thank you to everyone who made it such a success.”

Croft Meadow is run by Shaw healthcare who provides care for individuals in nursing and residential homes, hospitals, supported living environments and domiciliary care schemes. Its services range from comprehensive care packages through to low level support in the community for older people and adults with physical, sensory or mental health support needs.
