Charlotte Straker Fete Brings Community Together 🎉

The Charlotte Straker Fete was a fantastic day of community spirit, bringing together residents, relatives, friends, volunteers, and local people for an afternoon of fun and fundraising at Charlotte Straker House. Despite a blustery breeze, the atmosphere was full of energy and smiles as visitors enjoyed everything on offer. From browsing stalls and trying their luck on the tombola, to sampling homemade cakes, playing games, and catching up with friends old and new, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

The event was officially opened by Cllr Nick Oliver - Corbridge & Riding Mill alongside Berenice Groves, Chair of Trustees for The Charlotte Straker Project, who warmly welcomed everyone and thanked the community for their continued support. Berenice shared how special it was to see so many people come together, highlighting the importance of events like the fete in bringing the community together and supporting life at the home.

A huge thank you goes to all our incredible volunteers, whose time, energy, and enthusiasm made the day possible. From setting up and running stalls to baking delicious treats, their support was invaluable. We are also hugely grateful to everyone who donated prizes, cakes, and items for the popular stalls, as well as to Ian Wylie for capturing the day through his wonderful photographs.

Together, the fete raised over £1,500 for the Development Fund, helping us continue to enhance life for residents both now and in the future.

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, volunteered, and contributed. It truly was a memorable day, and we’re already looking forward to the next one 💙

A Wonderful Volunteers' Week Celebration 💙

This week, we were delighted to welcome our volunteers to Charlotte Straker House for a special afternoon of coffee, cake and appreciation as part of Volunteers' Week.

It was wonderful to see so many of our volunteers together and to have the opportunity to thank them for the incredible contribution they make to life within our home.
