Bras were blooming on trees inside and outside of The Hillings care home in St Neots to raise awareness about breast cancer.
Home Manager Tracey Morris, who was diagnosed with breast cancer herself in 2018, said, “This is a cause which is close to my heart and it was fantastic that residents, relatives and staff all wanted to get involved.
“We had unwanted bras donated by relatives and the residents decorated a tree inside and outside the home, we held a wear it pink day and staff made donations for the privilege of wearing pink for the day, we made pink ribbons to sell, everyone got involved.
“I want to say a big thank you to everyone who donated or was involved in any way, we have raised more than £120 already.”
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and all funds raised go to research into causes, treatment and education about breast cancer.
