Goodwins Hall Care Home has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to charitable giving, donating an impressive £800 in the past couple of weeks for both local and national charities. With a long history of fundraising, there is always something happening at Goodwins Hall to support worthy causes.
Christine’s inspiring fundraising effort
One of the recent donations was a remarkable £400 contribution to Cancer Research UK. This incredible achievement was made possible by Christine, a dedicated resident at Goodwins Hall, who committed to walking around the home’s garden every day for a month—rain or shine. Christine’s hard work and determination paid off, and she successfully raised a significant amount for cancer research.
To celebrate Christine’s achievement, Goodwins Hall hosted a special high tea, prepared by the talented kitchen team, for Christine, Kerry—the shop manager from Cancer Research UK’s King’s Lynn branch—and fellow residents. The celebration was made even more special by stunning floral decorations provided by Nici’s Creations. Congratulations, Christine—you are an inspiration to us all!
Supporting Bridge for Heroes
Another £400 was raised for local charity Bridge for Heroes through a highly successful Goodwins Gatsby-themed murder mystery evening. The event was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of King’s Lynn, adding an extra touch of prestige to the occasion.
Funds raised from the night were formally presented to Greg from Bridge for Heroes at Goodwins Hall’s Veterans Brunch, a regular monthly event that brings together residents, families, and community members in support of veterans’ welfare.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who contributed to this fundraising success. Your support truly makes a difference!
A tradition of giving back
Goodwins Hall has always been passionate about supporting charities, regularly collecting for the King’s Lynn Food Bank and organising numerous fundraising events throughout the year. Home Manager Flavia shared her pride in the home’s commitment to charitable efforts:
“For many of our residents, supporting charities and helping those less fortunate than themselves has always been a way of life, and it is important to the Goodwins family to carry on supporting local and national charities whenever we can.
“Most of our open events and family functions have a fundraising element, and we are always delighted with the support we receive from the community, our families, and friends in the care sector for our endeavours. To have donated just a few pence short of £800 in the past week is a real achievement.”
Goodwins Hall continues to embody the spirit of generosity, demonstrating the power of local community involvement and compassion shown to others.
