St Georges Raise Staggering Amount for Macmillan Cancer Support

St Georges Raise Staggering Amount

Our St Georges Nursing Home in Somerset proudly participated in the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, a global event raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

A Community Gathering

The event brought together residents, family, visitors, and staff for a morning of camaraderie and delicious treats. The talented chefs in our homes prepared a delightful selection of cakes, ensuring a sweet and satisfying experience for all.

A Show of Support

To prepare for the day, our creative residents crafted a stunning Macmillan collage, a handmade masterpiece that served as a beautiful backdrop for the coffee morning. The residents’ passion for arts and crafts shone through as they prepared for this special event.

A Generous Contribution

Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, St Georges Nursing Home raised a staggering £304.00 for Macmillan Cancer Support. This contribution will help fund essential services, including specialist nurses, phone lines, publications, and financial grants for those living with cancer.

Catherine
Sales Manager

Catherine has worked in sales and marketing her whole career, after graduating with a degree in Textile Management she worked in Corporate Workwear for many years.

Catherine

While her two children were younger, she joined her husband in his estate agency, but was delighted to return to the care sector in 2020 and now cannot imagine doing anything else.

Catherine’s role with Allegra is to support residents and their families as they explore care options. Working with the teams in the individual homes she ensures that during every stage from initial enquiry through to moving in with us every question is answered, and we offer the reassurance needed for the next chapter in our resident’s life. 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.

Catherine has said that working for Allegra with their groundbreaking household model means we are offering a home with compassion and care whilst ensuring residents are retaining their independence and quality of life.

Out of work Catherine enjoys baking and gardening The children are older now, but still keep her busy!
