RESIDENTS at Newsome Nursing Home welcomed the community in for the day to visit their Christmas Fair.

Staff, residents and families of those at the Tunnacliffe Road home held a fair with stalls, raffles and homemade cakes.

Father Christmas also paid a special visit to the event to lend his support.

Matron Sue Madden said: “It was a fabulous event and hopefully our most successful yet.

“The residents all had a lovely time, they always do enjoy taking part in these events.”

Staff at the nursing home are still counting all the money raised, which will go towards funds to provide entertainment for residents, including theatre trips.
