Easter afternoon tea at The Firs

Customers at The Firs, one of our retirement living schemes in Coventry, enjoyed an egg-cellent Easter afternoon tea thanks to our contractor, Wates.

They took part in a chocolate-themed raffle, which raised £99 towards VE Day celebrations at the scheme, and Wates also kindly offered to contribute towards a summer BBQ giving The Firs another fun event to look forward to.

The contractor has supported activities at The Firs before, previously donating £150 of Love2Shop vouchers for the scheme’s Christmas raffle. This donation helped the raffle to raise just under £500 - a real boost to The Firs social fund, helping towards several free events for customers living at the scheme this year, including Valentines Day and Mother’s Day lunches.

Lesley Murray, Scheme Manager at The Firs, said:

“We really appreciate the continued support received from Wates. They’ve always supported our fundraising efforts, making generous donations. It really does make a difference.”
