Care home residents have helped raise more than £300 for charity by selling homemade granola at a food fayre.

Whitewater Place Care Home, based in Odiham, raised the funds for St Michael's Hospice at the Odiham Food Fayre on Bank Holiday Monday.

Staff and residents spent the week experimenting with recipes before settling on fig and walnut granola, with all proceeds going to the hospice.

Resident and staff involvement was supported throughout the week by head chef Symoun Genobatin.

Louise Lambert, general manager at Whitewater Place, said: "It was lovely to be involved in such a wonderful, well attended, event for the local community and beyond, all whilst raising essential funds for St Michael's Hospice.

"The residents have been so keen to support such an important cause and were delighted to raise over £300 in the process."

The care home also hosted a raffle to boost fundraising, offering prizes including a private dining meal for two, afternoon tea and a private screening in their in-house cinema.

Whitewater Place is part of Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers.

The home offers residential, dementia and respite care.
