Staff, residents and family members at Station Court Care Home in Ashington have raised awareness and funds for their designated charity of the month, The Alzheimer’s Society.

Activities coordinators, Carly Chesney and Sharna Thompson completed a 50 mile sponsored cycle challenge inside the care home on exercise bikes with residents and colleagues cheering them on along the way.

Station Court also hosted a through the decades themed charity quiz night with family and friends joining residents for a nostalgic trip through memory lane battling through the rounds of famous faces, name that tune and 50s-90s trivia with cocktails and pub snacks.

The fun continued at the party with staff members dressed in costumes through each era and live entertainer performing hits through the decades with everyone involved singing and dancing to Mo-town, Rock N’ Roll and Pop.
