Westergate House - Fontwell

Residents, families and friends at a Fontwell care home have come together for an afternoon of music, cake and coffee in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Westergate House hosted a special Macmillan Coffee Afternoon, bringing the community together while raising money for the cancer charity.

Guests were treated to a selection of cakes and refreshments, alongside live entertainment from singer Lee Austin.

Lee has previously performed at Westergate House and returned to entertain residents and their guests with a selection of classic songs and melodies.

Organisers said his performance helped create a lively and welcoming atmosphere, with Lee also taking time to speak and interact with residents, families and friends throughout the afternoon.

The event was held as part of fundraising efforts for Macmillan Cancer Support, which provides services for people living with cancer and their families.

Westergate House said the afternoon provided an opportunity for residents to spend time with loved ones while supporting the charity.

The care home thanked Lee for returning to perform, along with everyone involved in organising the event and those who contributed to the fundraiser.
