Halifax care home holds charity fundraiser
A Halifax care home’s Christmas fundraiser has raised more than £2,500 for local charity Calderdale Lighthouse.
The fundraiser was hosted by Lee Mount and their sister service, Park View Care Home, in aid of Calderdale Lighthouse, who supply vulnerable and disadvantaged families throughout the borough with baby equipment and essentials items.
The care home hosted a tombola and a raffle, with prizes donated by Belgrave Social Club, Phoenix FM 96.7, Halifax Panthers, Morrisons, Victoria Theatre, Happy Bee’s Cafe, and Lee Mount Academy.
Manjinder Dhiman, registered manager at the care home, said: “Firstly, a massive thank you to our team for putting so an outstanding effort in leading up to the event and also during the event.
"Also a massive thank you to everyone who donated towards the fundraiser - so many amazing stuff has been donated to the raffle so it’s much appreciated.
"Also, a special thank you to Tracy and Linda who organised and ran the tombola which was a huge success.
"They have been collecting donations for the last six months so it’s been a massive effort. We do really appreciate it.
"Our aim for these types of events is not only to raise funds for people who need it but also to build links with the local community, which I feel we have.
"It was a great turn out and we feel everyone had a great time so thanks for everyone for coming down.”
