Strictly Fun Dancing Success for St Georges’ Manager Raises Spirits and Vital Funds

It was a night to remember as St Georges’ Manager, Simon, and his dance partner, Summer, took to the stage at the Winter Gardens in Weston-super-Mare for Weston Hospicecare’s Strictly Fun Dancing event. After months of rehearsals, their hard work paid off with a dazzling routine that earned them third place and the first perfect ten score of the evening!

Strictly Comes to St Georges

The celebration didn’t end there. The following week, the excitement carried over to St Georges Nursing Home as Strictly Fun Dancing came to the residents. Everyone was thrilled to see Simon and Summer recreate their performance, and the whole home was buzzing with pride and excitement.

As a special treat, the 1st place winners from the night—a fantastic dad and daughter duo—joined the visit, delivering a toe-tapping, hip-swinging routine that had residents clapping along with delight. It was a joyful afternoon that showcased community spirit, movement, and fun.

Supporting a Vital Local Charity

Weston Hospicecare provides crucial support for people and families facing life-limiting illnesses, and the Strictly Fun Dancing event raised an incredible £28,000 for this important cause. A huge well done to Simon, Summer, and everyone who took part in this fantastic fundraising effort.

Catherine’s role with Allegra is to support residents and their families as they explore care options.

It is important for our residents to remain part of the community in which will have lived for years, often all their lives, so the other part of this role is connecting with local community groups, charities and organisations.
