Dainty cakes and daffodils

A Sanctuary Care home in Chelmsford will be throwing open the doors to raise a cuppa in honour of a well-loved charity.

Donning yellow daffodils, the team and residents at Lyons Court Residential Care Home on Canvey Walk will be inviting people from the local community to join them for a tea party celebration in aid of Marie Curie on Tuesday 20 March from 2.30pm to 3.30pm.

There will be scrumptious homemade cakes and hot drinks to enjoy as the Chelmsford home, which provides residential and residential dementia care welcomes the community to raise money for the Great Daffodil Appeal.

Speaking of the upcoming event, home manager Alex Bragg said: “Our residents are already really looking forward to our tea party in honour of Marie Curie – they love welcoming both new and familiar faces to our friendly home.

“Marie Curie is such a fantastic charity, and with March being the month of the Great Daffodil appeal, what better way to support such a good cause than with  scrumptious sweet treats.”

Established in 1948, Marie Curie is a registered charitable organisation which provides care and support to people with terminal illnesses and their families. The Great Daffodil Appeal is Marie Curie’s biggest annual fundraising campaign, taking place each March.
