Rownhams Manor Care Home Raises Over £1,500 for Local Charities

Rownhams Manor care home in Southampton has raised over £1,500 for two local charities.

Starting with the home’s Summer Fair in July, which brought together residents, families, and neighbours in a celebration of community, an impressive £560 was collected for Mountbatten Hampshire.

The charity holds a particularly special place in the hearts of those at Rownhams Manor, including resident Myrtle Gosney, whose late husband received end-of-life care under Mountbatten’s support. Myrtle said,

‘This charity is very close to my heart. They do a fantastic job, and they supported my husband very well.’

In addition, £980 was raised for the South-Central Ambulance Charity after three brave members of the Rownhams Manor team — General Manager Samantha Squibb, Care Manager Susie Smith, and Head Chef Dominic Dunlop — took part in an abseil down Portsmouth’s iconic Spinnaker Tower

Samantha Squibb added,
“I’m so proud of what our residents, families, team members, and the wider community have achieved together.

‘Whether it was braving the heights of the Spinnaker Tower or enjoying the Summer Fair, every effort was about supporting two incredible charities. The generosity and enthusiasm everyone showed have been inspiring, and the funds raised will make a real difference.”
