Rachel took on the challenge to help raise funds aimed at enhancing the lives of residents. Rachel set an initial fundraising target of £500 toward Everwood Care Charity’s wider goal of £6,000. anks to the generosity of supporters, she surpassed her target, raising £700. All funds will go towards purchasing a digital activities board for residents at Heartland Manor. e touchscreen system enables interactive entertainment, reminiscence sessions, games, quizzes, and music for meaningful engagement amongst residents, including those who are bed bound or unable to join communal activities. Speaking of the dive, Rachel says, “The interactive large touchscreen at Little Haven is a favourite amongst residents, and we want the same for Heartland Manor. My commitment to supporting my team and creating an environment where residents feel respected, listened to, and truly at home made all the emotions I felt before and during the dive worth it.” As a charity, Everwood Care has no shareholders, with all funds reinvested back into its two homes - Little Haven in Dibden Purlieu, a 41-bed residential home, and Heartland Manor in Brockenhurst, a 40-bed residential and dementia care home. Both homes sit within the picturesque New Forest and o er short and long-term stays. In response to donations, Rachel said, “To everyone who donated, encouraged, or shared the fundraiser, thank you. Your support is helping enrich the daily lives of residents and give them access to meaningful, engaging activities.” Everwood Care is continuing its appeal to reach the £6,000 fundraising total.
