This Lent, we are asked to support the Hardship Fund of St Cuthbert’s Care. This allows the charity to offer financial assistance to older people who wish to live in one of their two Catholic nursing homes. You are also asked to consider giving some of your time to chat and share memories with residents. Volunteering can be so rewarding, and a friendly face and a smile can make a world of difference to residents who have few regular visitors. For more information, please contact Nicola Milne on 0191 242 4809 or nicola.milne@stcuthbertscare.org.uk
