On Thursday 3rd May, Avante Care & Support Head office staff held a ‘Make May Purple’ fundraising event in aid of the Stroke Association.

‘Make May Purple for stroke’ is an annual stroke awareness month which takes place every May. Friends, families and communities are invited to show their support for people who have been affected by stroke.

The event was held at De Gelsey House in Faversham by the Finance and Payroll team who hosted a selection of quizzes and games including a music quiz, darts, guess the sweeties in the jar and guess the combined age of the Payroll and Finance team!

There were books and games available to buy on the day, beautifully decorated cupcakes, kindly donated bottles of wine to win, and a special appearance from Teletubby Tinky-Winky who posed for the camera with staff.

Funds raised for the Stroke Association play an invaluable role in supporting their services and helping people to adapt to life after stroke. There can be enormous challenges, not only for stroke survivors, but for their loved ones too. But with the right support, stroke survivors can begin to regain their independence and find new ways to get their lives back on track.

Ann Hillier, Finance Assistant, said: “Thank you to everyone who took part on Thursday, your support and generous donations helped to raise a total of £190.00 for the Stroke Association.”
