Team members and residents at Care South’s Queensmead at Castle Dene care home in Bournemouth hosted a coffee morning to raise awareness and money for Macmillan Cancer Support, helping to raise money for vital cancer services, research and campaigns to achieve better cancer care, and support the cancer workforce.

The home was joined by the mayor and mayoress, Bob and June Lawton.
Staff and relatives generously baked and donated an array of scrumptious goods for the coffee morning, and residents also got involved by baking fairy cakes and decorating them for the event.

The home raised a total of £110.60 which will go towards helping people with life-limiting illnesses to live their precious lives well.
Lesley Wheal, activities organiser at Queensmead said: “The coffee morning was a great success, and it was lovely to have the mayor and mayoress in attendance for such a worthy cause. “Everyone had so much fun baking the cakes and of course eating them too.”

Queensmead care home offers residential, dementia and respite care in a homely and welcoming setting, and is owned and operated by Care South, a not-for-profit charity and leading provider of residential and home care in the south of England.
