Staff and residents at Boroughbridge Manor Care Home in Boroughbridge have taken part in a 500-mile static bike riding challenge to raise money and spread awareness for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day on March 20th.
Staff and residents at the home donned their red noses and got stuck in to help raise funds for this very important cause as residents, relatives, visiting GPs and the staff at the home pedalled their way through to 500 miles.
Comic Relief spends the money raised by Red Nose Day to help people living tough lives across the UK and internationally. Since its launch over 40 years ago, Red Nose Day has become a British institution when people across the country get together to raise money at their home, school and work, accompanied by an exciting night of TV on the BBC, full of comedy and entertainment to inspire the nation to give generously.
Residents and staff at Boroughbridge Manor were all very supportive and were there to cheer on the participants as they began the fundraising challenge.
Susan Carter, Senior General Manager at Boroughbridge Manor, said:
Taking part in Red Nose Day has been a huge amount of fun and everyone at the home has been behind us all the way. It’s for such an important cause. I’m very glad to be able to do my bit to raise further awareness and money for the charity.
Boroughbridge Manor raised a grand total of £35 on the day by completing the challenge, which will be donated to Comic Relief.
Boroughbridge Manor is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals. Boroughbridge Manor provides residential care, respite care for short term and long-term stays.
