Residents, staff, and relatives of Benarty View Care Home recently came together for a heart-warming fundraising event in support of the Make-A-Wish charity. Under the organisation of Kerry Lynch, Activities Coordinator at the home, the group set off on a scenic walk to the Forth Road Bridge.

The morning was filled with laughter, fresh air, and community spirit as participants slowly enjoyed the stunning views along the route. Picnics were packed, four of the team’s dogs joined in for the fun, and “rattling buckets” along the way helped raise some extra donations from passersby.

Thanks to the enthusiasm and generosity of everyone involved, the event raised an amazing £1,500 for the Make-A-Wish helping to bring joy and support to children in need.

Karen Bell, Home Manager, and Joanne Van Mussenbroek, Deputy Manager, expressed their delight at the turnout: “It was wonderful to see residents, families, staff, and even our furry friends come together for such a great cause. Kerry did an amazing job organising the walk, and the sense of community and joy throughout the morning was truly special.”

The success of the walk highlights the commitment of Benarty View Care Home to creating meaningful experiences for residents while giving back to the wider community.
