Care home car wash raises funds for Stroke Association

PURPLE stocks and a charity car wash helped a Rotherham care home raise funds for the Stroke Association.

Broadacres Care Home, on Naylor Street, collected donations from dozens of customers wanting to get their car cleaned.

While waiting, they were invited to throw a wet sponge at senior carer Scott Needham, who was locked into the Stroke Association stocks.

The event raised £109 for the charity, which will go towards supporting stroke survivors and funding research.

Luke Owens, home manager at Broadacres Care Home, said: “We held the event on one of the hottest days of the year so far and it was a huge success.

“Even the residents got involved throwing wet sponges at Luke in the stocks.

“We’d like to thank everyone who came along for the car wash and donated to a very worthy cause.”
