Care home workers to row for charity

Staff at Bayleaf Care Home in Huntingdon will be taking part in a sponsored rowing challenge to raise money for Orchid - The UK’s leading charity for those affected by male cancer.

The team at Bayleaf will be rowing on static rowing machines outside of the care home from 7am until 7pm on Wednesday 23rd September and will be cheered on throughout the day by their residents, some of which will also have the chance to participate in the challenge.

Katie Wilkinson, General Manager at Bayleaf Care Home, said: “Taking part in this challenge will be a huge amount of fun and everyone at the home are excited by the challenge. It is for such an important cause everybody at Bayleaf is very glad to be able to do their bit to raise further awareness and money for the charity.”

Bayleaf Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering personalised care across its care homes and hospitals. Bayleaf Care Home provides residential care and dementia care for 53 residents from short-term respite care through to longer term stays.
