Shrewsbury care home raises funds for Comic Relief
Staff and residents at Ottley House Care Home in Shrewsbury took part in a bake sale and comedy themed quizto raise money for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day.
Staff and residents at the home donned their red noses and got stuck in to help raise funds for this very important cause.
Comic Relief spends the money raised by Red Nose Day to help people living tough lives across the UK and internationally. Since its launch in 1988, Red Nose Day has become a British institution when people across the country get together to raise money at their home, school and work, accompanied by an exciting night of TV on the BBC, full of comedy and entertainment to inspire the nation to give generously.
Residents and staff at Ottley Housewere all very supportive and were there to cheer on the participants as they began the fundraising challenge.
Sarah Mitchell, community engagement officerat Ottley HouseCare Home, said: “Taking part in Red Nose Day has been a huge amount of fun and everyone at the home has been behind us all the way. It’s for such an important cause. I’m very glad to be able to do my bit to raise further awareness and money for the charity.”
Ottley House raised a great amount of money by completing the challenge, which will be donated to Comic Relief.
