BUPA CARE HOME RESIDENTS GO BANANAS FOR FRUITY FRIDAY

Tuesday, 12 May 2009

Bupa care home residents at Wombwell Hall Nursing Home, Wombwell Gardens, Northfleet are going bananas this week in support of World Cancer Research Fund’s (WCRF) Fruity Friday campaign.

On Friday 15 May, residents and staff of Wombwell Hall Nursing Home are getting fruity by hosting a ‘go bananas fun day’ from 11am. There will be many fun events throughout the day including games, quizzes, treasure hunt, and banana recipe books for sale.

Debbie Rye, Bupa’s Wombwell Hall activity co-ordinator, said, “Campaigns like Fruity Friday are a great way of getting across the ‘5-a-day’ message whilst having a bit of fun. We hope that residents and relatives enjoy the day and make it a great success.”

Fruity Friday is an annual awareness and fundraising campaign, held by World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK), to increase public awareness of the links between diet, nutrition and cancer prevention, and to raise valuable funds for their cancer research and education programmes.
