Garden Party Update

garden party update bank close houseThis years Garden Party held on the 23rd July at Bank Close House, Chesterfield was a great success. Throughout the day service users, family and friends came together for a fun filled day to help raise money for our residents. Our aim this year was to try and match our last years total of £517. After counting up all that we raised, this years total was a staggering £1,630. This would not have been possible without all of the hard work, support and kind donations from all of the people who came along to support us.

A residents meeting will take place in the near future where we will discuss how the funds will be best spent.

We would like to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who took part in making this possible.

Pamper Day Update

pamper day follow up 2016The pamper day we held on the 6th July was an amazing success and we now have many relaxed and rejuvenated residents. Some residents enjoyed a full manicure and polish, some indulged in a mini facial or head massage, while others enjoyed a simple hand massage. The response was really good from all the residents who took part. We are planning on making this more of a regular activity and will be arranging for this event to take place again in the upcoming weeks.

2016 garden partyWe are delighted to announce that our 2016 Garden Party will take place at Bank Close House on Saturday 23rd July. Last years garden party was of great success, we raised a total of £517 for our residents funds and we are hoping that this year is just as successful.

Come along and join us for another fantastic day. There will be entertainment from the local Ukulele band, an outdoor bar and BBQ area, a variety of stalls and much much more, offering something for everyone.

One of our members of staff has volunteered to have her head shaved on the day. As we are not a charity we cannot accept any sponsors but any donations you would like to make on the day are at your own discretion. In support of the Macmillan 'Brave The Shave' campaign we will also be making a donation to  Macmillan cancer research from the donations we raise on the day.

The garden will be open from 1:30pm onward and parking onsite is free of charge.

We will also be having a visit from the Mayor and his wife from around 2pm.
