Keen embroiderers at McCarthy & Stone's Cherrett Court development in Ferndown hosted a special exhibition of their work this month to help raise funds for the Ferndown Stroke Club.
The exhibition took place at the Assisted Living development, located on Ringwood Road, and raised vital funds for the charity. In addition to viewing the vast collection of detailed embroidery work, visitors enjoyed a cheese and wine reception and a VIP tour of the development's beautiful show complex and communal facilities.
Aileen King, regional sales and marketing director for McCarthy & Stone, comments: "We have some skilled and keen embroiderers at Cherrett Court and this common interest has really helped bond the community at the development.
"Those involved were keen to put their hard work to good use and came up with the idea to host a fundraising event. The Ferndown Stroke Club is a really worthy cause, providing vital support for stroke sufferers and their families, and we'd like to say thank you to everyone who came along and showed their support on the day."
Cherrett Court comprises 46 one and two bedroom Assisted Living apartments designed exclusively for anyone over the age of 70 requiring assistance with daily life. In addition to retaining home ownership, residents can benefit from an on-site restaurant, a communal lounge, hotel-style guest suite and landscaped gardens.
There is also a 24 hour emergency call system provided via a personal pendant, an estate manager, who oversees the running of the development, and staff are on site 24 hours a day for added peace of mind.
Prices currently start from £242,950. For further information about the properties and lifestyle available at Cherrett Court, please visit the show complex, open Tuesday to Saturday from 10.30am to 5.00pm.
