BURCOT Grange hosted their annual charity summer garden party, with more than 250 guests arriving to enjoy afternoon tea with the care home's residents.

The Greenhill home, which houses 36 elderly residents including several with dementia, hosted the event on June 17 in aid of the Alzheimer's Society.

Victoria Osborne, general manager of Burcot Grange, said: "It was a fabulous afternoon, enjoyed by all our families and friends. George Huxley and Co, a live brass band, played traditional music in the garden and the guests were served wonderful sandwiches, cakes, strawberries and cream."

The party raised £842 for charity, which will go towards improving the lives of people living with dementia, and research into finding a cure.
