Residents of a care home had a 'wonderful' time making new friends at their coffee morning.

With live music and an appearance from a well-known Bolton face, St Catherine's Care Home, Horwich, held a Macmillan coffee morning to remember for its residents.

Janet Crawford, author and presenter at 96.5 Bolton FM, and pupils from Chorley New Road Primary Academy joined residents and team members at the care home for a cuppa and a chat, and to enjoy a selection of delicious cakes while being entertained by local singer Zack Hill.

In the week leading up to the big day, the home’s chefs helped residents perfect their cakes and bakes and residents also made decorations in their arts & crafts activities.

The home’s manager, Gillian Johnson, said: “We’re all very keen to help raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support as it is a cause close to many of our hearts. Our residents love getting involved with their local community and had a wonderful time meeting new friends.”
