We're still collecting donations
On the 3rd August 2020 we'd raised £125 with 12 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
We are bringing our Care Home's Summer Fayre online while visitors cannot attend our home, to help raise money for our residents social fund

On the 3rd August 2020 we'd raised £125 with 12 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Any additional funds raised will go into the residents social fund. Every penny of these funds will be used to provide additional external entertainment for our amazing residents.
We hold regular meetings with our residents to allow them to choose how their social fund is spent on them.
I am Elliot, Activities Coordinator at Woodview Care Home in Branston.
Our residents are an amazing group of people with a variety of interests and hobbies which we encourage them to continue with. This includes Art, Music, Games and so much more.
Alongside our usual range of activities, we also book outside entertainment from the local community to come in and entertain our residents. This includes musicians, entertainers, exercise coaches and even Tai Chi. This additional entertainment is partly funded by our fundraising effort for our 'Residents Social Fund'. Many love getting involved by helping us run stalls, creating art and cards to sell at the fayre, helping make signs and decorations and really love contributing.
Due to COVID-19, we have been unable to host our usual Easter and Summer Fayres. This has impacted our fundraising efforts as we raise money from selling cakes, raffle tickets, sideshow games, arts and crafts and more.
So, we are bringing the Woodview Summer Fayre to you!
We have various aspects of our Summer Fayre available as rewards for donating to our Crowdfunder. We have raffles, gifts and more for various donation levels. On the day we will draw the raffle live.
***NOTE: You are welcome to 'stack' rewards. Eg. if you wanted a greetings card and a raffle ticket, you can donate £3 and get both!***
All money raised will go straight to our Residents Social Fund, which brings so much joy and entertainment to our residents, as well as supporting our local community of musicians, entertainers and businesses.
We look forward to welcoming the community back to our home when it is safe to do so, and to welcome back some incredible entertainers, with your help.
Thank you for reading
Elliot
