The annual summer fete in the gardens of the house, the former summer residence of Sir Stanley Baldwin, raised £866.39.

Organisers would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported the event, made cakes, donated raffle and tombola prizes and worked for weeks getting everything ready. ‘Memories’ provided the entertainment .

The money raised will go towards improving the activities for people who live in the home. The team needs help with sensory equipment and the funds raised will go a long way to providing this equipment.

The home is also looking for volunteers to help improve the quality of life of the people who live at Astley Hall. If anyone is interested, please call Sue Barton on 01299 827020.
