Pupils from Brooke Weston College in Corby have donated £1,700 to Sandalwood Court care home.  The school has recently linked up with the home as part of its adult health and social care module which involves staff from the home giving lectures on the effects of dementia and also pupils from the school visiting and helping residents in the home.

Jane Harris, Regional Marketing Manager for Shaw healthcare said, “The residents don’t get much contact with younger people so some of the pupils came into the home and Paula Dutton, the Home Manager went to Brooke Weston and gave a lecture.  There is a good relationship building up between the home and the school.  The children decided they wanted to raise money for the home”.

The money was raised through a non-uniform day at the college.
