Residents at Hillside Lodge Care Home were joined by the local community at a coffee morning to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Hillside Lodge Care Home in Berwick has held a community coffee morning raising over £100 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Residents welcomed a group of nursery children to help them decorate cupcakes before family, friends and members of the local community came along to join in with the fundraising over a cuppa, chat and selection of delicious cakes.

In the week leading up to the big day, the home’s chefs helped residents perfect their cakes and bakes and residents also made decorations for the event in their arts & crafts activities.
