Staff and residents at Westergate House care home, Fontwell, held a charity cake and bake sale in their garden to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

It was the perfect chance to catch up with relatives and friends and buy a slice of something delicious for a great cause. Julie, the Activities Assistant, did a fabulous job serving the delightful cakes and treats. The money raised helps everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.

Residents enjoyed spending time with their loved ones and members of the local community. Head chef, Chris, had baked lots of lovely cakes and pastries for everyone to sample and for guests to buy to take home. Staff joined in and added their creations to the stall.

Paul Middleton-Russell, General Manager at Westergate House Care Home, said: “Our Macmillan coffee morning has been a huge amount of fun, everyone at the home is always keen to support this fantastic charity in any way we can. We are very glad to be able to do our bit to raise further awareness for MacMillan and money for the charity.”
