EIGHT members of the staffing team from St John’s Court Nursing Home in Bromsgrove took part in 10km walk on Saturday, November 21 to raise funds for a festive cause.

They wanted to raise money for the residents' welfare fund to help pay for entertainment over Christmas.

A home spokesman said: "Although it was a chilly day everyone had a great time and the hot chocolate by the log fire at the half way point was very welcome.

"I would like to thank all those who took part in the walk and those who sponsored us as we have raised over £400 and this money makes such a difference to the residents' lives."
