Grantham care home does something funny for money to mark Red Nose Day

Residents at a Grantham Care home were hoping to raise some smiles and money this week as they
donned their Comic Relief red noses to raise money for charity.
Wigs, pom poms and traditional red noses were the order of the day this week at Red Court Care
Community, in St Edmunds Court, Grantham, as the home held a cake sale to raise money for Comic
Relief.
Gabriela Bucek, general manager at Red Court, said: “Red Nose Day is a great way for staff and
residents to come together each year to do something special for charity.
“There is always such a buzz of activity, and it is a great way to not only raise a smile but also to do
some good.”

Red Nose Day, held on Friday 17 th March, is an annual fundraising campaign created by Comic Relief,
which accumulates in a fundraising telethon to raise money for good causes around the world.
Founded in 1985 it was started by comedy scriptwriter Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry
with the idea of high-profile comedians making people laugh to raise money. Last year Comic Relief
raised £42million as almost 5 million tuned into the Red Nose Day broadcast.
Red Court Care Community provides accommodation, nursing and personal care for up to 53 people,
some of whom may be living with dementia, physical disabilities and sensory impairments.
