RESIDENTS and staff at a care home in Wallingford raised more than £100 at a summer fete for Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary.

A total of £105 was raised by Waterside Court Care Home which hosted a variety of activities throughout the day including prize winning games such as Tombola, Raffle, Hook-a-Duck and a ‘Wheelbarrow of Booze’.

Maraya Rabuka, general manager at Waterside Court said: “We love to fundraise for charities throughout the year, we pick different causes to support that have been selected by staff, residents and friends of the home.
