Overdene House manager braves the shave at mad hatters coffee morning HC-One’s Overdene House care home manager, Cath Burns, recently braved the shave as she had her head shaved in support of Macmillan Cancer Care.

The home held a coffee and cake morning with a ‘mad hatters’ theme, and Cath bravely had her head shaved in support of this fantastic cause.

A buffet lunch and drinks were provided at a small charge, with £1,550 of the proceeds going towards Macmillan Cancer and £400 going towards the Residents’ comfort fund, with the donations still rising.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, with some Colleagues generously gifting Cath with a variety of hats to use. Many Relatives, friends and neighbours visited the home for the wonderful event, and so much support was provided to Cath as she carried out this charitable gesture.

Cath commented: “Everyone has been so generous and supportive, with Residents encouraging me and offering helpful comments. A lovely day was had by all and a fantastic amount has been raised for such a wonderful cause.”
