Staff and residents at Austen House in Lower Earley held a charity coffee morning and bake sale to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Having a coffee morning is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. The money raised helps everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.
Residents enjoyed spending time with friends and relatives, and members of the local community.
Head chef Szymon Siewniak baked lots of cakes, biscuits and pastries for everyone to sample, and for guests to buy to take home.
Some team members had baked cakes and biscuits for the occasion.
Austen House’s coffee morning managed to raise £265.
Joleen Leung, operational general manager at Austen House Care Home, said: “Our Macmillan coffee morning has been a huge amount of fun.
“Everyone is always keen to support this fantastic charity in any way we can. We are very glad to be able to do our bit to raise further awareness for MacMillan and money for the charity.”
Stela, a resident at the home, added: “MacMillan is such a fantastic charity and they do such amazing work in the community.
“We all love raising money for them, and the best bit is, we get to eat cake at the same time.”
