Park View Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, recently brought the community together for a lovely Summer Fete. The event, filled with fun activities, games, and delicious refreshments, raised an impressive £276 to support the residents’ activity fund, helping to promote social inclusion and enhance quality of life for those living at Park View.
The fete featured a variety of stalls, raffles, and donated treats, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere for residents, staff, families, and volunteers. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to connect, share laughter, and enjoy a sunny afternoon in great company.
Lifestyle Coordinator at Park View, Bridie commented:
“It was a great day, a real celebration of community spirit. We were so pleased to see so many familiar and new faces supporting our cause. The generosity and spirit of everyone involved were truly heart-warming.”
The Home Manager added:
“This event really showed the strength of our Park View community. We are incredibly proud of the team and grateful for the amazing support we received.”
Residents at Park View Care Home also shared their joy:
Grace said, “it was lovely to see so many people and described the atmosphere as brilliant”, adding that she loved and thoroughly enjoyed the event. Barbara shared that “the cakes and coffee were amazing” and highlighted that it was all for such a great cause. Janet commented that “it was a lovely afternoon filled with fun, giggles, and plenty of refreshments”.
The idea for the Summer Fete came from a shared desire among staff, residents, and families to host an event that celebrated summer, encouraged social connection, and raised funds for meaningful resident activities.
The day was full of highlights, including raffle prizes, lucky stall winners, and generous contributions from local supporters such as Melissa at Tesco and Forest Coffee House.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported the event.
