Ashington care home residents complete charity challenge

The residents set out with a goal of walking 28 miles across the month, but through determination and teamwork they reached an impressive 32 miles combined in both group and individual walks.

The initiative brought residents together supporting one another every step of the way. Encouraging friendship, teamwork and a shared sense of achievement as they crossed the final mile.

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, the residents also raised a fantastic £175 for the British Heart Foundation helping to support vital research into heart and circulatory diseases.

Carly Chesney, activities coordinator at Station Court Care Home said: “Taking part in this challenge has been a huge amount of fun. It’s been wonderful to see everyone come together, enjoying increasing physical activity and getting outdoors to raise money for a cause close to our hearts at Station Court.”
