BUPA CARE HOME RESIDENTS GO BANANAS FOR FRUITY FRIDAY

Bupa care home residents at Cartref Residential Home, Brecon Road, Hay on Wye 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 Bupa’s Cartref Residential Home are getting fruity by hosting a ‘Banana Day.’ There will be a range of activities including display making with yellow flowers and banana splits for lunch. Staff and residents will also be dressing in yellow.

Linda Wickham, activity co-ordinator at Bupa’s Cartref Residential Home says: “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 our residents and relatives will 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.
