Despite The Rain Northamptonshire Home Raises Hundreds Following Spring Fayre

The weather didn’t dampen the spirits of a Northamptonshire home as they managed to raise hundreds during their spring fayre.

MHA Rushden Park held their spring fayre which was attended by more than 100 people.

There were plenty of stalls and activities to keep guests entertained as well as refreshments including cakes, hot dogs and mocktails.

It was a real intergenerational event with a good mix of young and old, and the staff at the home really rallied round in making sure the event was a success.

The final amount raised was £942.81.

Speaking after the fayre, Shannon Sargent, activity coordinator said: “The weather wasn’t the greatest which meant we had to pack up a few of the stalls earlier than expected, however it was still a good day.

“The majority of the fayre was indoors, apart from the barbecues and some of the stalls.

“Everyone had a great time, the home was full of people throughout the day.

“All in all, the fayre took around a couple of months to plan, but it was worth it.

“To reach the figure we did is really impressive, and I want to thank everyone for their support on behalf of all of us at MHA Rushden Park.

“We received some great feedback from visitors and family members of residents.

“The residents had a great time, they really got stuck in and were asking when we would do this again.

“For the funds raised, we are expecting to do a poll and ask our residents what they would like to do with the money.

“Again, I would like to thank everyone for their generosity and support, it was a real team effort.”
