A CARE home in Falmouth has taken part in 'National Elf Day' in order to raise money for charity. 

Staff at Falmouth Court Care Home in Falmouth swapped their uniforms for costumes on National Elf Day in an effort to raise funds to help people living with dementia.

Launched by the Alzheimer’s Society and delivered direct from the North Pole, Elf Day was created to sprinkle some festive cheer on fundraising towards finding a cure for dementia.

From stripy socks to head-to-toe elf outfits, anything goes – there’s 'snow' (sorry!) better way to raise money to help beat dementia.

On the day, residents and staff at Falmouth Court were able to enjoy a coffee morning with lots of delicious cakes and treats prepared by Head Chef Jonathan Moyle. 

Everyone also enjoyed a Christmas quiz as the team at the home donned their elfish apparel.

The home managed to raise a total of £43 towards the cause.

Alexandria Bowman, General Manager at Falmouth Court and head elf, said: "Elf Day at Falmouth Court was a lot of fun and we are home to some of the most unusual elves I have ever seen!

"We know first-hand that many people, including a good number of our residents, are living with some form of Alzheimer’s.

"That’s why raising money to support dementia charities is dear to our hearts and we’re always so keen to get involved. 

"We’re proud that the money we’ve raised will go towards such a good cause.

"For anyone that has any questions about caring for those with Alzheimer’s, do please give us a call and we’ll do all we can to help."

Falmouth Court Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, and says it is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals.
