Cake Bake Sale in Aid of Suicide Awareness
6th October 2017
Park Manor worked wonders at baking tempting treats all for a worthy cause
Paula Drumm (Administrator), Babs Oliver (Senior Care Assistant) and Laura Campbell (Senior Nurse) from Park Manor got together to organise a cake bake sale in aid of Suicide Awareness. They channelled their inner Mary Berry and prepared some tasty goodies for the day.
The cake bake sale took place on Boucher Crescent, Belfast, on a busy Saturday Afternoon. The hungry passers-by couldn’t resist indulging in the baked goods on display (of course in return for a charitable donation). There was everything from swiss rolls, shortbread, iced buns, muffins, french fancies and even slimming world banana and coconut baked oat cakes for those watching their waistline!
The final total raised was an impressive £668.00. Park Manor also had a coffee morning for residents and staff in aid of Suicide Awareness at the nursing home in Dunmurry and raised £100.00. Sunday 8th October will see another amazing effort of fundraising for the charity as the staff from Park Manor and the team at head office will abseil down the Europa Hotel.
