Staff from The Beeches Care Home in Stockton on Tees, organised the Stroke Association fundraiser at Tesco Extra, on Durham Road.

Helen Wood, home manager at The Beeches Care Home, on Green Lane, said: “We’d like to thank everyone who dropped donations into our collection buckets at Tesco on Durham Road.

“A big thank you also goes to the supermarket staff for being so welcoming and helping us to collect such a great amount.

“As a Hill Care home, we’re trying to raise as much money as possible, alongside the Group’s other homes across the north.”
