Jim, activities co-ordinator at Thornbury Care Centre, Thorney Close, completed his sponsored walk last month, raising a tremendous £231. He would like to thank everyone who supported him during his walk from Thornbury Care Centre to Seaham (Tommy statue) and a very special thank you to the congregation and members of St Mary and St Peter’s Church who donated £50. All the money raised will be spent on equipment (garden equipment and outside furniture) so everyone at the centre can enjoy the sunshine. Formore information, contact Jim on 0191 520 1881.

Thornbury Care Centre will be holding an open day and tea party on Friday and all are welcome to go along and join in the fun. Tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits will be served throughout the day and the event is free. Everyone looks forward to seeing you.
