Staff at a care home spent a relaxing day of fund raising by wearing their pyjamas to work.

Riverhead Hall Residential and Nursing Care Home, Driffield held the day of fund raising on Wednesday 22 May as part of Dementia Awareness Week.

Over £30 was raised for the Alzheimer’s Society by the Hall’s staff and residents.

Hall manager Denise Medd said: “We have people in the home who have dementia and it is a growing problem. There are an awful lot of people who have dementia and a lot of younger people who get it now too.

“It was a really good day, we enjoyed it. Coming into work in my pyjamas was funny, and quite a bizarre experience.”
