The residents of Rose Lodge Care Home, Carers Way have been donating goodies in support of the Children in Distress charity.
The Shoe Box Appeal campaign enables people to fill ordinary shoe boxes with small toys, sweets and other gifts which are then donated to needy children all over the world.
Rose Lodge Care Home, which offers care to those with personal care needs and dementia, took part in the campaign as many of it’s residents are grandparents and wanted to donate presents to children in need. Home Manager Karen Frew-McGill said: “The residents really enjoyed supporting the charity and putting together the shoe boxes, so much so that we’re already planning future charity fundraising events.
