Doncaster care home residents enjoy day out at Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Residents of a Doncaster care home enjoyed an extra special day out at the city’s Yorkshire Wildlife Park thanks to donations.

The Beeches in Armthorpe was presented with a£150 donation by Doncaster Lions to help finance the day out.

The boost came after members read of the home’s recent sponsored walk by staff to raise funds for the trip.

The walk covered seven miles starting at The Boat Inn at Sprotbrough and finished back at the care home on Beech Road.

The walkers raised nearly £300.

The residents were able to feed the wallabies when they visitedthe park.

A home spokesperson said: “Our residents had a great day.”
