Running a company and running for Alzheimer’s

Our Proprietor, Karim, ran the Big London Half Marathon in September to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society. The entire Southcare Homes Group team is so proud of his fantastic achievement!

“A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported me, via donations, messages etc.  Really appreciated. Tower Bridge was INCREDIBLE to run over, and crossing the finish line at Cutty Sark was pretty special. What an experience. I absolutely loved it.

“The supporters, organisers, sponsors, fellow runners, friends, family and every single person who cheered us on – WOW. The atmosphere was incredible from start to finish. And knowing it was all for such an amazing cause made every step worthwhile.

A huge thank you to Alzheimer’s Society for the work they do and to Southcare Homes Group for supporting me throughout this challenge and to all those that sponsored me.”

This year, all five homes in the Southcare Homes Group will be supporting Alzheimer’s Society and raising funds for this fantastic charity.

Southcare Homes Raise over £500 for Macmillan Cancer Support

All our homes had a terrific time raise funds and awareness for the outstanding charity, Macmillan Cancer Support and their annual Biggest Ever Coffee Morning.

Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at Highbury House… that’s right, a tea party for a coffee morning – mad I tell you!

Highbury House and their wonderful Mad Hatter Tea Party! It was a day full of colour, craziness and cakes! A massive thanks to local businesses, such as Tesco, The Trellis Restaurant, S.A. Devesons Groceries, The White Horse Hotel, Rottingdean, Shane’s kitchen, Budgens. They all generously donated prizes for our Raffle! Also thanks to our heroic staff! They even brought in their own whacky outfits! We had Alice in Wonderland playing in our outdoor cinema, and a stunning themed cake created in house! Thanks to all our relatives that joined – even getting hats for their pets to wear! What a day!

Relatives and friends of Lime Tree House were able to join for a virtual cup of coffee for their Macmillan Morning. Their fabulous chef, Toby, made coconut and jam, Victoria sponge, carrot cake and Laura, our new activities coordinator made her oh-so-fabulous ginger cake!

Grasmere also managed to raise over £100 while also managing to work their way through an assortment of beautiful homemade cakes! They had a quiz, and even a jolly good game of beerpong (minus the beer though)!

A selection of sweet sponges to delight and tempt made their way onto the cake table at Heatherdene’s Coffee Morning. We are so grateful for the enthusiasm from our residents, staff, family and friends who not only raised the roof but managed to raise over £100 towards the charity. Thank you all for making our coffee morning such a sweet success!

Freshford Cottage’s Macmillan Coffee Morning was also a great success! You can see pictures and find out more details by visiting their Facebook page.
