Cherry Blossom Manor care home in Bramley recently presented Hartley Wintney's Over 55’s Forum with a £500 cheque.
The funding was granted by Barchester’s Charitable Foundation, a charity that helps older people and adults with disabilities or mental health issues across the UK.
Hartley Wintney's Over 55’s Forum meets on a bi-monthly basis, helping members with their independence and providing opportunities for social contact to avoid loneliness.
Cherry Blossom Manor representatives were welcomed by the forum at a gathering in the church hall, where the cheque was handed over.
