Bellerose Manor Care Home, part of the Sanders Senior Living group, welcomed residents, families, staff and members of the local community for a special fundraising afternoon on 18 August 2026, raising an impressive £133.50 for Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland.
The event brought people together to enjoy an afternoon of homemade treats, fundraising and community connections. Bellerose Manor was delighted to welcome Laura York, Head of Marketing & Fundraising at Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland, alongside members of the local community, including Caroline from Radfield Home Care and Sheela from Vita Health Group.
