Lockyer Lodge at Sidford is inviting residents to a winter warmer event to raise funds for Sidmouth Hospice at Home.

On Friday February 10 at 10.30am, everyone is welcome to step out of the cold and enjoy coffee, cake and a chat in return for a small donation.

All of the money raised will go to Sidmouth Hospice at Home, a charity which provides care and support to people in the Sid Valley with life limiting illnesses, as well as their carers and families.

The charity has a specialist palliative nursing team providing 24/7 care to patients in their own homes, as well as specially-trained volunteers who provide transport, sitting and befriending services, and bereavement support.

Caroline Haswell, regional marketing manager for Churchill Retirement Living, said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming people to our Winter Warmer event to raise funds for such a great charity, to help it continue its vital work.

“Every penny counts, which is why we’re asking as many people as possible to come along and support the event and make a donation in return for the refreshments on offer.

“It’s the perfect excuse to enjoy a bit of indulgence, as well as an opportunity for visitors to experience the lifestyle, friendship and sense of community on offer here.”

Churchill’s Winter Warmer events take place throughout February at its retirement developments across the country, with all the money raised going towards local causes chosen by its apartment Owners and Colleagues.
