Health Care for Feet Treat for Porte Rouge residents Porte Rouge residents recently enjoyed a delicious lunchtime meal at the magnificent Whitsand Bay Hotel which was organised by our local Downderry Memory Café team. The weather was amazing and everyone took the opportunity of being able to sit outside in the sunshine. The activities diary is rapidly filling up and our residents have plenty to look forward to in the forthcoming weeks. These include a Sparkle Party by Kernow Mill; a Christmas Panto performance of Puss in Boots; a Body Shop Party; Clothes Party; several luncheon invitations and a variety of music concerts. We also have our annual Christmas Fayre which is on Tuesday December 6 which will have our customary luxury raffle. The photographs on the right show some of our residents enjoying the ‘Pannier Market clothes show’ which we presented at the end of September. Thank you to everyone who continues to support us at Torcare.

Lady Singers raise £3,200 for charity Torpoint Lady Singers gathered for their usual rehearsal at Cornerstone Church in October but with a special extra event in mind. The Choir presented a cheque for £3,200 to Dr Adrian Copplestone, chair of the Plymouth and District Leukaemia Fund for continued work to improve the facilities and pursue research into many forms of the disease. The money had been raised during the choir’s 24th Annual Singathon in June. As well as the cheque from sponsorship and fundraising on the day, the ladies and their supporters had also collected a further £546 outside Sainsbury’s supermarket and on the Torpoint Ferry.

thanked the choir and explained a little of the how the charity uses donations and Chris Trethewey, chair of the Lady Singers also thanked the ladies for their hard work in raising such a good sum of money. The Torpoint
Lady Singers would particularly like to thank their loyal supporters, local businesses and all members of the community who so very generously gave their money and donations to make such a great gift to the Plymouth and District Leukaemia Fund.
The Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Plymouth took to the stage of the Roebuck Theatre at HMS Raleigh in October, under the baton of Major Richard Long, to help raise funds for St Luke’s Hospice. During the evening the members of the band offered the audience a wonderful medley of musical pieces which culminated in a fabulous finale which documented in music and words the historic Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805). Torpoint volunteers from St Luke’s Hospice were invited to the event to fundraise for the charity by running a raffle and man collection boxes. The raffle raised more than £420 with a bucket collection adding a further £90. Lorraine England, St Luke’s volunteer said: “Our heartfelt thanks to the Commanding Officer of HMS Raleigh Capt Ellie Ablett, musical director Major Richard Long and to Jason Finch for inviting the St Luke’s team to the event and also to members of the public who attended the concert

As a former community nurse I cannot
express how invaluable this is.” If you would like to know more about the work of St Lukes Hospice visit www.stlukes-hospice.org.uk The Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Plymouth will be hosting another concert in HMS Raleigh on Thursday November 17 at 7.30pm with tickets priced at £8.
