The Grace Cares fundraising event

A fundraising event has been held in Lichfield in aid of a not-for-profit project to repurpose care equipment.

Grace Cares marked Care Home Open Week by hosting a corporate afternoon tea at The Spires.

The not-for-profit organisation breathes new life into unwanted items by making them available at around a third of the price, with profits used to help care workers, older people and their families with hardship grants.

A total of 20 local business owners attended the event, which featured entertainment from local historian Jono Oates and a performance by a barber shop quartet.

Amy Doyle, manager at The Spires, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to have supported Grace Cares to raise £2,850 across the event, and are so proud to be able to show the local business community what social care is all about.”
