A Penarth-based care home has raised £900 by hosting a community summer fayre. 

MHA Morel Court on Raisdale Road set up the summer fayre within the home and invited Cllr Laura Rochefort, mayor of Penarth to open the event. 

The home offers 36 places for residential care and will be using the amount raised to support the seize the day initiatives for residents, with some potential trips already planned. 

The initiative encourages residents to re-experience activities or events from the past or to do something they would like to do for the first time. 

There were plenty of activities for those attending to take part in as well as a jewellery, books and cake stall. Hot dogs and refreshments were also available for visitors.

June Mansell, the community coordinator at MHA Morel Court, said: "The summer fayre was a huge success, and it was a brilliant day. 

"The weather was perfect, and you could see everyone having a good time. We had around 80 people turn up and there was a lot of generous support shown by those who came. 

"The money raised will go towards the seize the day initiative set up by MHA and I already have clay pigeon shooting and a hot air balloon on my list of requests. 

"The residents and staff members had a really good time, and it was a very enjoyable event to be a part of. It was the first time we did something like this following the pandemic and I am very happy with the results."
