This #GoodNewsFriday we hear from Spellman Care about their fundraising efforts over the summer.
Spellman Care has been delighted to reflect on the money raised from their summer fundraising efforts.
The care provider ran a series of events that brought together residents, staff, and the wider community in a vibrant celebration of local spirit and generosity. Each of their homes hosted a unique and lively fete, featuring tombolas and raffles, various stalls, and food and drink, raising funds for local causes.
The ‘Music festival’ summer fete at Ghyll Royd Care Home was a monumental success, drawing a fantastic crowd and raising £340 for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. The fete grounds were buzzing with joyous energy and laughter, with attendees singing and dancing along to the live music.
Meanwhile, the 'Through the decades' fete at Springbank Care Home and the 'By the seaside' fete at Steeton Court Nursing Home joined forces to raise a fantastic combined total of £1,030 for the Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice.
Springbank celebrated its 150th anniversary with a birthday party twist, inviting everyone to step back in time and enjoy a variety of activities plus live music.
At Steeton Court, the fete was a coastal escape, with attendees enjoying freshly cooked fish and chips and ice creams while listening to the live music which had everyone dancing.
Craven Nursing Home’s 'Farmers' market' summer fete, with a special veteran twist, raised money for its residents' fund. The day was filled with a BBQ and prizes were generously donated by the community.
A truly special highlight was the Spellman Care Veterans' Café, which hosted its biggest gathering yet, providing a heartfelt afternoon of camaraderie for residents and local veterans. Thanks to the support of all who attended, the fete raised £470 for the residents' fund.
Steven Spellman, Director at Spellman Care, said:
We are truly overjoyed to have opened our doors and welcomed everyone to these wonderful summer fetes. They are a perfect reflection of our values and a fantastic opportunity for our residents, their families, and the wider community to come together and create lasting, cherished memories. We are immensely proud of the fundraising efforts and deeply grateful for the community's support of our chosen charities.
Planning is already underway for Spellman Care’s 2026 Summer Fetes, with local businesses invited to get in touch if they would like to support one of the events next year.
