BUPA CARE HOME RESIDENTS GO BANANAS FOR FRUITY FRIDAY

Wednesday, 13 May 2009

Bupa care home residents at Brierton Lodge Nursing Centre, Hartlepool 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 Brierton Lodge Nursing Centre are getting fruity by hosting an event which will include a range of activities such as fruit tasting, ‘guess how many pieces of fruit in a basket,’ fruit smoothies and fruit kebabs will also be served.

Mary Richardson, Bupa’s Brierton Lodge activitiy 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 our 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.
