Residents at Richmond Villages Wood Norton recently came together for their annual summer fayre, celebrating the sunny weather whilst also raising nearly £700 for charity.

In true summer fayre style, the party atmosphere was made complete by brilliant entertainment from the Avon Bank Brass Band, as well as our very own singer, Steve Saunders.

The raffle was a particular highlight of the afternoon, along with a tombola. One of our residents had a stall and sold beautiful silk painted items, helping to raise further funds.

The resident community raised an impressive £660 for Cruse Bereavement Support, a charity offering emotional support to anyone in the UK affected by grief. Through the hard work of its trained volunteers, Cruse Bereavement Support provides a free helpline and a range of local support services to people across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The funds raised will go directly towards helping the charity to train more people to become volunteers and provide support across all types of bereavement to those who need it most.

James Culley, Village Manager at Richmond Villages Wood Norton, said: “Our summer fayre is always a huge hit with our residents, and it was fantastic to come together in our lovely garden for an afternoon of fun, whilst also raising money for Cruse Bereavement Support. The charity is close to our residents’ hearts, and we were delighted to raise some funds to help the charity continue its important work.”
