Residents Wear Red to Show They Care.

Brampton based, Sid Bailey Care Home held a wear red party to celebrate Age UK Rotherham's 40th anniversary and raise funds for the charity. Residents and guests all got into the spirit of things by wearing red outfits at the circus themed event. The party kicked off with magic show by magician, Magic Merlin, and the entertainment didn't end there. Party goers were treated to some of Elvis's most popular hits when Elvis impersonator Monsoon Mike had the audience up dancing and singing along to songs by the king.

A raffle and tombola raised £130 for Age UK Rotherham, to help them continue their work, supporting older people in the borough. The charity's CEO, Barbara Dinsdale, who attended the party said, "What a brilliant event, it was so lovely to see everyone having a great time and we're grateful to the staff at Sid Bailey Care home for making it a success and to the residents and guests for taking part. The party was the first one in a series of events being run by care homes across Rotherham this year to celebrate Age UK Rotherham's 40th anniversary and we're adding more to the list all the time. Anyone interested in holding an event can get in touch by emailing info@ageukrotherham.org.uk."
