A sprinkle of Christmas cheer filled the corridors at HC-One’s Defoe Court Care Home in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, as Residents welcomed in the festive season with a fair.
Defoe Court opened it’s doors to members of the community, selling gifts from Yankee candles to fantastic frames and wooden snowmen, whilst enjoying seasonal hot drinks and nibbles.
The Residents at Defoe Court had a fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed the sweet and cake stall the most.
Altogether, a fantastic £130 was raised for the Resident’s comfort fund.

“Thank you to everyone who attended, it really got us counting down the days to Christmas at Defoe Court.”
