Care home summer fair brings local community together

STAFF and residents at a Bradford care home enjoyed an annual summer fair with the local community.

They were joined by their families and took part in traditional games such as hook-a-duck and a tombola at the event at Crossley House Bupa Care Home in Fairweather Green.

There were cupcakes, cakes and cookies made by Debbie and Danielle, activity co-ordinators at the home.

There were stalls selling local products, such as honey, painted plant pots and wax melts, and firefighters from the Fairweather Green station attended along with a fire engine, allowing residents to climb aboard.

Local police officers also visited to chat with residents and visitors.

Lorraine Randles, home manager at Crossley House Bupa Care Home, said: “We always really enjoy hosting our annual summer fayre and it was a great turn out this year.

“Everyone in attendance had a fantastic time – even the weather held out!

“A favourite of the afternoon was most definitely the tombola and once again, it was a pleasure to invite members of the local community to join in our celebrations.”
