A group of 42 people from Highgrove House Care Home, in Winchester Road, set off on Wednesday, June 28, and had a lovely walk to the beach.

The Highgrove House Walk and Wheel 2023 followed a successful walk last year. A total of £710 has been raised, beating the £500 target.

Karen Lisher, manager, said: "At Highgrove House, we care for and support residents to live well with dementia. Thank you to everyone who donated. We had some well-deserved whipped ice cream afterwards.

"Father Tom, our home's vicar, and entertainers who visit the home came along to push the residents. It was a brilliant afternoon, with a medal ceremony to finish."
