Red Nose Day Fun: Craft Cake and Comedy for a great cause!
At Cedar Health and Wellbeing, we love creating joyful and inclusive experiences for the individuals we support. This month, we hosted a fantastic Red Nose Day event, bringing together individuals from our residential and supported living services for a day filled with creativity, laughter, and delicious treats - all in support of Comic Relief!
A Day to Remember
The event was designed to be a fun and engaging way for our supported individuals to take part in Red Nose Day while showcasing their creativity and humour. From the moment everyone arrived, there was an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. It was wonderful to see individuals from different services coming together, building connections, and sharing in the joy of the occasion.
Each person had the chance to explore different activities at their own pace, ensuring a truly inclusive experience for all. It was heart-warming to witness the enthusiasm and engagement of everyone involved. Staff members and supported individuals alike embraced the spirit of the day, creating a positive and uplifting environment.
Craft, Cake and Comedy
Our craft station was a lively space, with plenty of resources for everyone to enjoy. We provided masks, door hangers, door plaques, and photo frames to decorate, alongside a variety of materials such as paint, glitter, glue, stickers, pom-poms, pipe cleaners, and colourful pens. Each person had the opportunity to express themselves through their unique creations, and the results were truly wonderful!
Meanwhile, the scent of sweet treats filled the fair as everyone enjoyed a delicious selection of baked goods. Some individuals even brought in their homemade treats to share, adding a lovely, personal touch to the day.
Not to forget the fabulous jokes and ‘pin the red nose on the staff member!’ Laughter filled the room and created a fantastic atmosphere.
Fundraising Success
Thanks to the enthusiasm and generosity of our attendees, we successfully raised an impressive £180.30 for Comic Relief. This donation will go toward supporting vital projects that change lives across the UK and beyond. Comic Relief raises money to support local community organisations and change-makers in the UK and across the globe. The funds are used to help baby banks, community food centres, health workers, local youth safe spaces and to ensure safe passage for people escaping danger. The organisation also raises awareness about poverty and tackles injustices contributing to poverty. We are proud to have been part of the contribution to this wonderful charity.
Team Effort and Community Spirit
Our event wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our incredible office staff, managers and support workers, all of whom contributed to making the day extra special. Their support and enthusiasm ensured that every individual felt included, engaged, and empowered to take part.
Looking Forward to More Fun!
Red Nose Day 2024 was a huge success and we’re already looking forward to the next Cedar Events we are planning for the future! Events like these highlight the power of community, creativity, and kindness, and we are so proud of everyone who participated.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, and made this event a truly memorable one. Together, we’ve made a difference - one joke, one craft and one cake at a time!
