SANTA Claus and one of his little helpers joined in the festivities at a Stourport care home for its annual Christmas fair.

The residents and staff at Ravenhurst Residential Care Home raised £250 at the event, which included games and stalls.

The home’s day care conservatory was transformed into Santa’s grotto and visitors could pick up Christmas gifts from stalls selling cakes, jewellery, bric-a-brac and cards.

Visitors also enjoyed a tombola, Christmas-themed competitions, including hoop Rudolf’s antlers, Christmas cookie decorating and children’s football group FootieBugs.

The home’s activities leader Carla Siwicki said: “Our residents absolutely love Christmas and our fair really got everyone into the festive spirit, we all had a brilliant time. We are absolutely delighted with the amount of money raised."

The £250 will go to the Residents’ Activities Fund, which pays for trips and treats for the residents.
