BUPA CARE HOME RESIDENTS GO BANANAS FOR FRUITY FRIDAY

Tuesday, 12 May 2009

Bupa care home residents at Kingsley Nursing and Residential Centre, Ripon Road Harrogate are going bananas next week in support of World Cancer Research Fund’s (WCRF) Fruity Friday campaign.

On Friday 15 May, residents and staff at Bupa’s Kingsley Nursing and Residential Centre are getting fruity by hosting an event which will include an exotic fruit game, entertainment from Andrew Gilver, and staff dressing in yellow.

Sarah Ibrahim, Bupa’s Kingsley home manager, 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 our residents 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.
