Catchpole Court Nursing Home brings Christmas cheer to Sudbury foodbank

A collection for Storehouse Foodbank at Sudbury’s Catchpole Court Care Home beat all expectations thanks to the generosity of staff, residents, families, and visitors.

Head of activities Ruth Head said: “We decided to spread a little Christmas cheer to local families in need, and we collected enough to fill three hampers – and there were still more food items we could not fit in!”

She said their appeal had been so successful they were planning to continue collections, by placing a donation box in reception, on a bi-monthly basis.

“Next time we will be holding a collection of dog and cat food for pet owners struggling with the cost of living,” she said.
