Plymouth Care Centre’s Cream Tea raises hundreds for charity

08 July 2025 CHSW

A local care centre in Plymouth has raised over £600 for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).

Greenacres Care Centre in Mannamead, Plymouth, held a Cream Tea on Friday 30 May to raise funds for the charity after residents voted to support them for the 2nd year running.

Residents, families, friends and staff enjoyed home baked scones, singing and entertainment on a lovely, sunny afternoon.

The event was a huge success, and the owners of the Care Centre match funded the amount raised meaning even more money could be donated to CHSW to help its vital work. 

CHSW has 3 children’s hospices across the South West: Little Bridge House in North Devon, Charlton Farm in North Somerset, and Little Harbour in St Austell, Plymouth’s local children’s hospice.

Annabel Roberts, Area Fundraiser for CHSW, said: “We’d like thank the staff and residents at Greenacres for holding a Cream Tea for us. Little Harbour costs £4 million a year to run, so we are so grateful to every penny that comes our way. 

CHSW supports 57 families in Plymouth, and what better way to raise money for them than with a few scones!
