Over £200 has been raised for Alzheimer’s Society thanks to the cupcake sale held at a local care home last week.

Residents, staff, family members and friends of Chirk Care Home took part in the UK-wide National Cupcake Day fundraising event on Thursday 14th June.

A total of £220 was raised for Alzheimer’s Society via cake sales and a raffle.

“It was lovely that so many family members and friends from the wider community came along to support the residents and staff here at Chirk Court,” said Mandi Southern, activities coordinator at the Clwyd Alyn Housing Association care home in Maes y Waen, Chirk.

“All the cakes were hand-baked by our staff and by friends of Chirk Court.

“The raffle and coffee morning raised a brilliant £220 to support the vital work of this important charity while also allowing us to have a lovely get-together in the Orangery at the home. We’d like to thank everyone who supported us.”
